$General Motors(GM.US$ EVs have their place in the market as do diesels and gas. Needs drive product choice.
What will be interesting is the integration of time-of-use-rates (electric) and EV charging at scale.
Price at the pump is constant (meaning no significant intra-day price swings) any time one wishes to fill up. Not so with time-of-use rates especially when the grid is stressed.

mins counting : Great points. There are so many needs and obstacles that slow down the rate of EV adoption. Given the time to charge an EV, I can imagine that the rush hour congestion and lines at today's gas stations will be infinitely worse at charging stations when EV's dominate due to the dramatically longer charging times. Today if you;re behind someone it is at most a 3-5 minute wait. Imagine for an EV charging station!
HelloMark mins counting: I have an ev. hybrid. I haven't fuel up in months; all done in my garage with a common three prong outlet. How much time have you wasted looking for gas stations, and waiting in line to fuel up a couple of times a week?
Minerva77 HelloMark: And do not forget the wasted having your ICEV serviced twice a year; let alone the smog check!
Just serviced my TESLA, filled the windshield washing fluid bottle, myself!
Main Force Minerva77: Where exactly is that bottle located? I might try that myself!!!
Sam White Main Force: I don't wait at gas stations at all and can't remember the last time I did. How much did you pay for your EV hybrid, make and model. What was the premium over the same or comparable ICE model.
lovely mory Minerva77: I service my own vehicles. Never had one go less than 300,000 miles.
Good luck servicing an electronics issue at home.
foolbanana mins counting: That statement identifies the biggest problem for widespread adoption of EVs. Not everyone can get away with filling only at home.
Shiningln mins counting: It will limit the EV adoption rate
