I have seen a bit more criticism of electric cars of late in the press and on social media, particularly in the UK, but I think that's just because of more widespread use amongst the general public. They are not electric car haters but just normal people pointing out the issues they have found. This is bound to happen as more people are now using electric cars and finding out firsthand the issues with things like relatively poor infrastructure along with a few of the other weaker points of electric cars, such as poor resale value, range fluctuations based on weather and highway inefficiency etc and a few electric car evangelist types are getting upset that not everyone thinks electric cars are perfect in every scenario.

As a BEV owner it is exactly this - a lot of normal Joes are sitting inside BEVs and they hold no punches back, because compared to ICE, their user experience with electric vehicle is inferior - be it infrastructure or price vs usability of BEV.
