    At least for me the reasons are

    1. Lack of interest
    2. They’re ridiculously Ugly
    3. Range (I’ve driven 1500 miles in the last 3 weeks)
    4. Driving Experience is worse (opinion, but still something I stand by)
    5. Charging
    6. Price

    When I was looking at new cars an EV wasn’t even an option. I wanted a 2 door performance coupe and there isn’t anything even close to that in EVs, let alone on the used market. A 2014 Audi was a better choice in almost every metric beyond gas prices.

      Why is charging bad? Id argue it’s a plus. You never have to go to a gas station and every morning you wake up with a full charge for your day.

        I don’t have a place to charge at home, nor a way to run a cord from my apartment to a car, so charging becomes a 20-30 minute ordeal instead of a 3 minute tank of gas on my way to work.

          That’s fair. Charging infrastructure isn’t ready if you can’t charge at home
