For a lot of folks, being a bit more anxious all the time or missing out on a good thing is worth not being victimized. I don't know if people are actually less likely to be victimized but I think plenty feel that it helps.
For the average consumer most EVs are too expensive. The batteries probably aren't going to get much cheaper due to the rarity and expense of lithium. Finding a better battery tech could make the whole idea of mass electric car ownership make sense. I do wish people would stop caring about the range issue so much tho. Just charge the battery every night and you'll almost never need more then 80 miles of range
I hope we drop the idea of mass car ownership tho. Effective mass public transit and micro mobility seems like a much safer and more efficient direction to go
Doubtful this will plan out tho. These articles are basically just corporate press releases. A couple of these battery techs might pan out and work at scale
I'm a big fan of the voyager pulsar map. I haven't got it yet but could come in handy if I get lost
