Would that apply to people in condos? If they had a charger, or an outlet, then possibly. Renters with nothing but a 110 outlet? Can be done, and done okay. Cold weather? There's a significant impact. Enough to make the car unusable? North of Ohio, sometimes...

But pickup trucks don't work for everybody. But the Ford F-150 has been for a long time on the top ten of the worlds best selling vehicle. Does that mean it's anywhere near the best of anything? No, not really in any way.

So, my point is that the math works for a lot of people. Everybody? Of course not. Perfect? Absolutely not. Nothing is a perfect solution for anything.

Well said. No perfect vehicles for anyone at all times.
