Using the Tesla Model 3 as my frame of reference, I'll separate it into dealbreakers and makers
Dealmakers:
1. Performance (Incredible)
2. Range (310 miles) same as my car
3. Recharge time - 15 mins at a super charge station for 180 miles is impressive and workable.
Dealbreakers:
1. Price ($35,000)- My current car is a Toyota corolla. It was 10 years old when I bought it with 50,000 miles and it was $9,000. So an
electric car with (equivalent engine wear/age) would have to come in at around 10 grand for me to bite.
2. Recharging stations- Its getting better, but I would want to see them as ubiquitous as gas stations
3. I have no need for a new car. My work commute is 4 miles on back roads. I barley put 3000 miles on my car a year and rarely even need to
fill the tank. Ultimately, my car is paid off. I need nothing else. But that being said, if I did need a new car and there was a $10,000 dollar
electric car, then I would strongly consider it.
*** On a side note, I am looking to test ride some electric motorycles, such as the Harley Livewire and the Zero brand motorcycles.
Again, the price issue pop up. $30,000 grand for the electric Harley is bullshit and the 90 miles range is not what I need. The Zeros are better at 20 grand which is an easier pill to swallow, but not one I plan to anytime soon. I like them a lot. The power is mental, but its probably gonna be another 10 years for the technology to come down in price to where I'll buy.
