EVs seem to me a “logic” decision more than an “emotion” decision, on average anyway… like A+B/C = EV. I don’t imagine too many people lusting over them. Few lust over a Camry either, but that’s still the the more normal and affordable solution.

I’ll say there was a reasonable amount of emotion along with logic in my i5 decision. I very much like BMW’s brand, quality of engineering in cars I’ve owned in the past and am excited by what they’re doing with their take on making EV’s. The i5M60 hits a perfect sweet spot for me in terms of really comfortable luxury cruiser when I’m in traffic on the freeway, but just effortless push-you-back-in-your-seat performance when I need it. I don’t view it as an electric M or electric version of something else, I view it as a BMW performance EV.
I’m also fortunate, in Northen California we have a pretty good charger network (although I’m using home and work charging 99.9% of the time) and on top of that PG&E (for whom I normally have lots of negative things to say) has got fossil fuels down to 5% or so of their energy mix.
