There are so many things to plan when doing a roadtrip that I sure as shit won’t be adding charging the fucking car to the equation until I’m forced to.
There is also electricity consumption. By my calculation, an EV consumes similar amount of energy as an average household per month. That would require huge increase in power consumption, bringing the cost down. On the other side, we have those huge costs for charging stations, both in tech and parking space , while profit is questionable due to falling power prices.
I mean, humans will find a way, but it will be a very bumpy road unless battery tech improves by a lot.
So many bad drivers are on the road that my vehicle purchases are guided by safety over other factors.
I don’t think people selling EVs really care about this, government is too slow to react as usual, and huge bottleneck with charging infrastructure is bound to happen.
No thanks.

What’s the severity of the fire is most obvious thing that can’t be easily measured.
EV cars tend to burn down completely, while ICE cars do not.
They literally just have to hire one person in Serbia and pay them 1000 EUR a month, maybe another one to validate.
Russian forces are around 250-270k (including Donjeck forces of around 70k), while Ukrainian forces are around 600k strong.
Russians are effectively in complete control of the battlefield, while outnumbered 2 to 1.
Here's a nice summary of what's going on in Ukraine.

It’s absolutely in no interest of Russia to do that, that’s why they let civilians out from all the cities. And they do leave, except from a city which is held by Azov, what a coincidence.
