The idea of an electric vehicle is brilliant. I'd love a fully electric van, being able to tap into a 100-200kWh battery would be a game changer for camping.
For me though, EVs just aren't actually better yet.
Tesla came close but long term their reliability and vendor lock-in issues mean that they're never going to work like a 10-20 year old Civic, Corolla, Transit etc which ruins the value proposition.
I have no doubt that they'll get there, but they have to be a strict improvement on a 30 year old ICE car first.
