There you go with your pesky facts again!
My former boss, one of the most intelligent people I know and working in tech me mentioned casually one day that she'll never own an EV and "they aren't ready for market yet".
As we have owned EVs since 2012 and are currently looking for #6, I'm sure I reacted a little more quickly than I would have liked. Her reasons?
Not enough charging stations
Charge too slow
You can't drive them in the rain or use those automated car washes(?!)
And of course - they all catch fire.
Disregarding my direct experience with multiple cars in favor of her "research" - we have reached the "agree to disagree" state of discussion on this topic. Completely baffles me that a woman who's very job is to analyze large sets of data has bought into the right-wing politicization of EVs -
She does live in Florida - so perhaps it's something in the (rising) water there...
