Gang, do you work in the EV industry? You are a very good avocate for them - you have made me think about my future car purchase in a different light. The BIG factor for most people will be cost. I will be looking at the second-hand market, probably something older than 5 years. Purchase Price / Practicality / Reliability / Fuel Costs will be the main factors.Choice, at the moment, is limited. I read a great deal about The Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV and found the technology stunning but in purely economic terms the ICE will be here for quite some time and will be the only choice for many people on a restricted budget.
