Oh no, ONLY half the entire population of the United States would benefit from EVs* so let's throw those cars in the trash.

the average daily commute for the vast majority of Americans is well within what can be maintained with a at home level one charger.

but you make that argument and people start wringing their hands and try to come up with other excuses, like the unimaginable horrors of extension cords or something else to continue to argue against EV.

Its a classic american tactic. "IF ITS NOT 100000% PERFECT, IMMEDIATELY AND AT THE START, THEN WE CANT DO IT!(unless it involves giving money to billionaires, of fascist dictator ships, or for the bombing of brown people)"
