You are certainly an outlier in the discussion.

There are range extended EV options (the Volt/Ampera, for instance) to at least use battery for part of the trip.

It certainly doesn't have to be all or nothing right now. You are enough of an outlier you might never be satisfied, but that shouldn't stop you from trying for a middle ground.

There are people that wish to tax conventional vehicles relentlessly. I feel the need to mention my case in the discussion because while I'm most certainly an outlier there (and in the general population), I know there's still a lot of us, and that the tax has the potential to ruin life of these people.

Me personally, I have an EV Smart that I use in my home city. I love electric vehicles, but there are use cases when they just can't be used.
