This video is the best advertisement I've ever seen for not replacing my old car without any smarts and mechanical-everything that's important.
In fairness, it's not really a criticism of electric vehicles, but rather a criticism of "cellphone cars". I have nothing against EVs, I just wish they came with simple controls that made them good vehicles.
I have a '24 Leaf. I'm a huge fan of the driving experience. It feels simple, has a physical speedometer and HVAC controls. Unfortunately, the battery tech is outdated and the charging tech shouldn't even be legal to sell in the US because it's almost unsupported in the US.
Car companies are so out of touch with this stuff. I want what you want. An car with an battery that doesn't feel like an inconvenience.
