If you've bought an EV obviously you're already on the kool aid, so its probably not a long stretch to continue doing so. Here any new car is hideously expensive, so much so I've never bought one, and therein is the rub.  It'll be the  "well off" that generally buy them, are they likely to be able to afford the extra 25% to join electric utopia probably.   While for the rest of us plebs its enough to be a deal breaker.

Traditionally our new car sales are driven by the well heeled, and corporate fleets, while the rest of us buy into the ~2-5 year old range and the we have the really large almost 3rd world group where the vehicles are anything up to 30 years old.
