I have only had one issue with a person in a large pickup truck. I actually spoke to him about it. And found out that it was a political issue. He felt like the government is forcing it on us due to climate change and his view is that it’s part of the democratic being communist. I explained to him that the car is actually better with less than 80% moving parts and even let him drive my ID.4. overall in my view it’s political.
When I was looking at changing my Bolt last year I was very interested in the Ioniq 5. As it’s charging rate is really great. But the price and the stupid markups that the dealership has turned me off it. I ended up getting an ID.4 Pro S RWD. And it’s been a really great car. I haven’t had any issues with the car. And after 50,000 miles it’s still going strong. What sold me on the car is the ride and the driver assists. Blows away the Ioniq 5.
I think people are going about this the wrong way. EVs need to be sold by how much less they cost. And not due to the environment. It’s been marketed as a liberal thing.
Let’s start with 80%. Less moving parts. Brakes last well over 100k miles. Far less costly per mile. Instant torque and power. When charging at home you always have a full tank.
Politics is not good for them. There are many people who don’t see the positives of them. But, they hate EVs and don’t care about anything else.
You will find many conservative people that like EVs, have solar and clean up their area. They are being sold incorrectly.
Stupid unions.
