Anecdotally, I'm convinced what has caused sluggish EV sales in the USA is peoples' general ignorance about how they work. My partner and I both have Chevy Bolts and between the two of us we've been asked:
"Does it use gas?"
No, it's entirely electric.
"Do you always need to find a parking space with a charger?"
No, we just park it in a regular parking spot like a gas car. It gets charged at night at home.
"Is it slow, like a golf cart?"
It has 200hp. It's not slow.
"Why does it make that weird noise?"
That's the pedestrian alert tone. It's legally required.
"How much range does it have?"
About 200 miles at highway speeds, if you don't drive like a maniac.
"Is your power bill really high with two EVs?"
Not really.
"What do you do if there's a power outage?"
If the car needs to be recharged, we go to a nearby Supercharger station.
"Is charging it at a charging station expensive?"
Compared to gas, yeah, but since we primarily charge at home it's not a big deal.
"Aren't you worried about it catching fire?"
No.
