As others said, it depends on if you have home charging or not.
If you can charge at home, EVs are great for commuting, it does require some additional planning for long trips, but it's getting much better.
Also cost to charge at home is 1/3rd or less than cost for gas. Cost to supercharge is often very similar to the cost for gas, sometime even more than gas.

Rentals are generally for people away from home, so EVs for the rental market mostly doesn't make sense right now.

Driving a rental EV right now as main EV is in the body shop. coincidentally. But I'm not away from home.

They are only charging for real world IPv4 addresses. Internal non routable IPv4 addresses will still be free.
  Honestly, that's fine, I don't need many real internet addressable addresses anyways.
Private IPv4 addresses 192.168.x.x, etc, will be free, likely forever.
Even for these cloud database type systems, I'm not sure why you need a routeable address..

Locutus is primarily designed for decentralization, not anonymity - which will make it less suited to IP theft than various other technologies that are already pervasive, the same is true of a lot of the other "people you don't want to be your early adopters" that you mention. It's definitely a risk for systems like Freenet, but it's a manageable risk.

Not quite sure how reality will go for this project at least based on comments here so far

Most of the negative comments so far are from people who I doubt spent 20 seconds looking at our site, so I hope they don't color your judgement. Read through our user manual and form your own opinion.

Of course, the irony of using Youtube and Google Docs for the presentation kind of hurts.

Once there are viable alternatives on Freenet we'll use them.

I remember a few years back thinking how the promise of Freenet was so easy to achieve today between low power computers, cheap storage, and bandwidth... yet we are stuck with what we have.

I think the time is right, which is exactly why I'm doing what I'm doing :)
