Exactly. AND you are also operating with a lot less power to haul that dead weight. I’d rather have a full ICE car with full ICE power whatever that may be.
Now, when technology evolves to make an electric car weigh significantly less with greater range and a charging infrastructure that can handle large numbers of electric cars then I’ll be really interested in trying an electric car. I think electric cars will eventually get to a point most of all of us like them, but we just aren’t there yet.
