Default Would YOU buy an EV?

Would YOU ever consider buying a battery electric car? The poll is regarding your next practical, everyday vehicle purchase ... NOT a sportscar (Telsa) to toy around in. For example to replace your Corolla, Civic etc

General vehicle statistics:
a. Generally "normal" looking. IE: Not riding in a cigar tube
b. 2-4 passenger
c. 200 mile range
d. Top speed at least 80MPH
e. 0-60MPH 10 seconds (or less)
e. 4-6 Hours to charge

How much would you be willing to pay for this car?

I choose $30,000. Although battery replacement is expensive, consider there is no petro to buy, no filters, no radiators, tuneups, Cat converters or other costly petro-related maintenance or service items for the life of the vehicle.

.

Efficient drivers do it better.
1003 miles a tank personal record. 74MPG calculated. HCH1 CVT
