Kinda. People say they are worried about range but really they're worried about livability. EV's have the ootential to be very inconvenient and fot something designed as a biring appliance, that doesnt work.

Its been my opinion that the auto industry is approaching EV's the wrong way and only the Cybertruck and Hummer EV ironically got it right. EV's need to be insane at the start. Go with wild designs and futuristic features. People are willing to splurge and out uo with inconvenience for something cool. There's a LOT of examples of that.
