yet they’re still priced and treated culturally like luxury toys

    Electric Vehicles look like they will but still pretty expensive.

    Expensive and impractical at the moment due to the lack of charging stations.

    My vote is home automation stuff

    I kinda hope not. I don’t need even more devices listening in on me.

      Most charging happens at home. There are still some hurdles, but lack of charging stations is not the argument against mass adoption of EVs that you think it is.

      Sadly I can’t find any hard numbers but this report states “The project shed light on other facets of PEV use. It found that public and workplace charging infrastructure enabled drivers to increase their electric driving range, although most drivers did not charge away from home frequently”

      edit: nevermind, there is another report that states “According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 80 percent of EV charging happens at home”

        And how many people do you think live in apartments/rentals that cannot just install a charging station at home?
