The only remaining issue I see is the range and availability of charging stations to make EV a complete alternative to ICE vehicles.

--Charging times
--Issues with charging stations from being inoperable to not accepting payment
--Lack of compatibility with the car to be charged
--Insufficient power available on the grid to handle all the charging
--Unavailability of a wide selection of vehicle types
--Poor towing capacity
--Poor performance of battery in very hot and cold weather
--Battery life / vehicle life and recycling costs
--Initial cost of the vehicle

You're not very good at reading comprehension, are you IQ60. Or maybe you can show me where I said that. Of course you can't.
Because it's BULLSHIT. But then, you seem to have a very intimate relationship with bullshit.
As many MAGA morons do. Did you inject disinfectant like Trump suggested? That could be the cause of your severe cognitive decline.

A Tesla is not a luxury car.
No gas or vapor has the magick capability to trap heat. Heat cannot be trapped. You are ignoring the 2nd law of thermodynamics again.

EV sales expected to hit new U.S. record in 2023—but Germany, China and Norway still lead the way

Electric vehicle sales are expected to hit a record 9% of all passenger vehicles in the U.S. this year, according to Atlas Public Policy. That will be up from 7.3% of new car sales in 2022.
It will be the first time more than 1 million EVs are sold in the U.S. in one calendar year, probably reaching between 1.3 million and 1.4 million cars, the research firm predicts.
IQ60 sucks Trump's dick.
More blatant lies. EV's have already failed (again); and that's DESPITE the heavy subsidies and mandates.

Communism and fascism doesn't work. Mandates to build charging stations is going to backfire badly.
That doesn't magickally reduce the electrical load either, nor the wasted energy of an EV (an EV uses almost twice the energy of a gasoline vehicle traveling the same distance).

No doubt your car is the centerfold in this month's edition.
Kind of like your no doubt saggy ass

You can charge at a rental property if the unit has electricity. Simple. Next question?

And both issues are being resolved with time. 14 new superchargers are being installed in America every day.
VOLVO’S UNIQUE, ALL-ELECTRIC MULTI-PURPOSE LUXURY VEHICLE GIVES THEM A LEG UP IN EV REVOLUTION: ‘AN EXCITING NEW OPTION’
“It allows us to tap new market demand we’ve not explored before.”
by Laurelle Stelle*/*December 1, 2023
After building hype with a set of images shared online in October, Swedish automaker Volvo has officially released its first-ever electric minivan, the EM90, CleanTechnica reports.
The EM90 might not be what you expect from a minivan, though. It is first being released in China, and according to CleanTechnica, minivans have a very different image there than they do in the United States. Whereas Americans associate them with soccer moms hauling around carloads of kids, to the average person in China, a minivan is a luxury vehicle for transporting high-end executives.

No, you can't. Even if you wanted to, in most cases parking at apartment complexes is not immediately adjacent to the unit. Let's say you live on the second floor. There are no charging stations. What are you going to do, run an extension cord? How long will that last before the complex manager tells you 'No,' and ends that idea...
Or, let's say your parking spot (assigned by the complex) is 150 feet from your apartment and on the other side of a throughfare where other tenants drive their cars to their parking spots. Let's say something like this:
Are you really going to run a 150 foot extension cord (for an outlet you'd need a AWG 10 cord to avoid heating and line loss at that distance using a wall outlet) across the parking lot to your car? What happens when somebody drives over it and rips it out of your car or the receptacle, or just destroys the cord by driving over it? It won't take long for the apartment management to ban the practice entirely.

I'm not talking about apartment complexes. In talking about rental properties that AREN'T apartments. You know, like townhomes and single-family homes. Apartments alone DO NOT make up 60% of American homes.
Next question.

Okay, those with just a 30 or 40 amp circuit (assumes you plug your car in using the dryer or stove outlet for example) will still require something on the order of 12 to 16 hours to charge the vehicle. For a 15- or 20-amp receptacle, it's more like 24 to 30 hours. Not very practical.
Oh, 36% of Americans do live in apartments by the way so you are kicking over a third of everybody in the US to the curb with EV's and recharging...
As national eviction ban expires, a look at who rents and who owns in the U.S.
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-r...hich the Census Bureau has reliable estimates.
Worse for all you Leftists who are racists and virtue signalers, most of those in apartments are minorities as well... And, renters are far more likely to be those that can't afford to publicly charge a vehicle in both time and money.
Then explain coats. The idea of insulation trapping heat goes back to the stone ages. You are way behind the times.

Then those in apartments won't buy one YET.
But as apartment complexes install chargers and EVs become cheaper, that's gonna change.
There was time when there weren't gas stations on every corner, as well.
Piss all you want. The EV revolution is here and you and your fellow MAGA morons ain't changing that.
