2. EVs are inconvenient for anyone who needs a public charger
3. EVs are inconvenient for anyone who drives long distances
4. Insurance costs are higher
5. Maintenance costs are higher
6. Repairs take longer and parts are in short supply
7. Minor accidents can be very costly requiring a new battery
8. Consumers don’t want the damn things and rightfully so
