New York City Should Be Nirvana for EV Sellers But It Turns Out Just the Opposite
We are fond of sharing videos from Geoff of Geoff Buys Cars and John Cadogan, both of whom are articulate and very funny in addressing the perils of EVs, but recently we came across another site that takes a more strictly factual approach. It’s called Highway Herald. One of their recent videos focuses on the problems of doing EVs in New York City, a place that culturally almost demands them for virtue signaling purposes. But, there are issues…lots of issues:
The narrator lacks the personality of Geoff and John Cadogan. Nonetheless, he delivers the facts. EVs are a really hard sell in rural areas where driving rather long distances is common and no one wants to be stuck in an EV that's running out of charge in a snowstorm. But, as this video demonstrates, they don’t make much sense in denser urban areas either.

Whodathunkit? Inner cities should be the most likely market for EVs, since city dwellers don't drive high commute miles like suburbanites, so shouldn't have to 'recharge' as often. But funny thing - that's not the way it's working out... and I was surprised at the number of fires, since they are supposed to be very rare.
