at best. Sometimes worse. Hertz got out of EVs and besides unpredictable and severe depreciation maintenance was a big factor. That could just be a Tesla thing, since they were all Teslas, but by all accounts the current crop of EVs from other manufactures are still iffy. That's not a surprise, it's a brand new platform.
Also, oil changes are every 6000 miles and have been for ages. If you're low mileage you can go a whole year. I work from home and put very little mileage on my car, so I do the change with full synth once a year for about $100 bucks. but even worse case you're looking at an extra $300-$500 a year. Not cheap, but it wasn't enough to make Hertz keep the Teslas.
And yeah, people are going to take away our gas buggies. There's multiple laws on the books right now to phase them out in 6-10 years. Personally I'd rather have walkable cities and public transportation. An realistically those laws will just get pushed back. But they're getting pushed back because EVs are still too expensive for regular folk to afford. China has affordable EVs... for China. But that's more a quirk of exchange rates and their ability to use borderline slave labor. Even without the tariffs it just doesn't translate here.
And we've got a few major issues with EVs that aren't being addressed. Higher weight means they burn through tires (and put a ton of extra tire particulate into the air), an EV battery fire is a nightmare and replacing an EV or even Plug-In-Hybrid battery is fraught with risk. I've seen EVs where the battery is more than the car...
On the positive end EVs really do reduce our dependency on foreign oil. But as it stands I spend about 2 months out of the year working for my car instead of myself, and I drive an old car very few miles and own it outright. It's looking more and more like an EV is going to push that to 3 months, and I make good money.
All's that to say I don't think EVs are a solution to our transportation woes.
