total bollocks, driving EV is like you said, a sterile experience. if you need to commute, take a fuсking bus. driving supposed to give pleasure.
"driving around the country" works in tiny places like Sweden, because its size is equal to EV range.
And Sir you have not been in Sweden it seems.....I have 1000km to the south and 1000km to the north to some of my customers and it is rather strong winters to the north, works like a charm. No Greyhound here
Regarding EVs it is more a matter of political and ideological mindsets. No need to discuss this here in the V4 forum!
