Re: “They might be OK around town but leave a lot to be desired for trips. Not everyone can afford one car just tor local driving.”
They also need a new $12,000 battery every 80,000 miles. Many cars that are used only for local driving will take a long time to accrue 80,000 miles - let's say 12 years. By then, they probably won't be worth $12,000. So that means that every 80,000 miles, electric cars bought for $41k+ or more will be totaled for lack of affordable replacement batteries.

Elon Musk is working on a "Million Mile Battery" that will solve this problem. But he doesn't have one yet and possibly never will.
If/when he does, the cheapest Tesla ($41,190) may command a far higher price.

most Americans don’t think electric vehicles are practical

How long would De’s trip have taken if he had to recharge for four hours every 200 miles?
