You can’t repair the things yourself

Not even GM's own engineers know how to fix their own fucking EVs—and they designed the bastards—to say nothing of their minimally trained mechanics.

Then you have Tesla, who thinks everything can be fixed with a software update and tech bro energy.

Not to mention some older houses do not have the wiring for a charger at home.

Not that you'd want to, with EVs spontaneously combusting in people's garages. It's recommended you park on the curb and get a really long extension cord to charge EVs now.

It's funny, back in Ye Olde Times, garages had to be detached or have concrete walls because cars back then were fire hazards. Maybe we'll have to do it again so new houses meet code.
