Who's Got the Time for EVs?

Familiarity is one reason drivers aren't swooning over electric vehicles (Letters, July 2). Time is another. A driver can put enough fuel in an internal-combustion vehicle within five minutes to give it 400 miles of range. Chevy's 2024 Silverado was rated the fastest-charging EV, and it takes an hour to recharge to 400 miles of range and 25 minutes to recharge to 150 miles. Who can afford that, let alone the infrastructure to support it? The Journal's Dan Neil writes that something has to give 'if automobility is to remain a defining feature in American society.' Don't count on it being gasoline. Stuart Creque

Why Aren't U.S. Drivers Swooning Over EVs?

The eye-popping costs to purchase, insure and repair new vehicles enumerated in Dan Neil's 'Driven to Despair' (Off Duty, June 21) is resounding encouragement to hold on to what you have that works, is familiar and relatively inexpensive. For nearly all readers, that's going to be their vehicle powered by an internal-combustion engine. While electric-vehicle sales are growing—now around 7% of new car sales in the U.S.—that means the majority of drivers aren't ready to give up their gasoline cars or trucks. While, as Mr. Neil writes, it is 'nominally cheaper to build an EV than an equivalent ICE vehicle,' cost isn't everything. Familiarity, practicality and utility of a technology count for something and are grossly underrated.
