While my current use case for a car would not allow me to purchase an electric vehicle, my future case would. However, I am planning to wait for solid state vehicles. I don’t like how prone to thermal runaway lithium batteries are in their current state. That, and I don’t like the trend towards bigger and heavier vehicles.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m happy to own a large diesel truck for when I need a truck, but it feels like such a waste as a daily personal commuter vehicle. Most of the time, it’s literally me and my spouse. Sometimes we have groceries, sometimes luggage. It’s such a waste of space and energy to be transporting an extra 3000 lbs around

That’s really funny. My electricity prices have basically tripled over the past two or three years and my use hasn’t changed.

With the push towards AI data centers that seem to have coats pushed to the average homeowner, I do not think an EV will be the most cost effective option, at least in “car” form.

Maybe an electric bike or scooter would be more cost effective
