    People still go on holiday once or twice a year, snd many travel by car and always prefer their own car over rental. A 100 mile range EV being good for 95% of your use cases doesn’t help you much with the other 5%.

      People need to hire vehicles occasionally rather than buy more polluting vehicles against some rare edge case

        I’m not saying they shouldn’t rent a car for these occasions, I’m just saying that’s probably the reason why hybrids are more popular.

        Or we need to try to accommodate the needs that people actually have rather than telling them they should change what they need. That’s somewhat more likely to actually work.

          I mostly agree with your statement. If you want people to switch to alternatives, the alternative needs to be better than the status quo in some way.
