Hi Ira,
Anyone who wishes to purchase a battery energy storage auto, can do so. I have no objection.
My sister did. Now, she parks her Tesla outside the garage, for fear of burning down her home, and charges with a BIG extension cord.
For the same money, I can purchase a Porshe and get REAL acceleration. In fact, I have done. WHEEEE!

People need to be educated about REAL pollution. Low information people believe a lot of rubbish. The EXHAUST of the battery EV occurs during fabrication and at the power plant - out of sight - out of mind. That is what I name 'virtue signalling". The vanity plates - "NO EMISSION"- cause me to chuckle over the knuckleheads who believe that nonsense. The battery components: mining, fabrication, etc. cost more than 100,000 miles worth of CO2 (assuming CO2 is a pollutant which it is not). (SEE: https://www.nyteknik.se/fordon/stora-utslapp-fran-elbilarnas-batterier-6851761, and many similar comparison analyses). A detailed accounting always reveals the "MISINFORMATION' promoted by manufacturers. Of course, it is in the interest of the manufacturer to tout the product so as to sell the product. That does not make it factual.
The Battery EV handles well since the center of gravity is very close to the road, just like my Porsche. The MASSIVE 1000 kg battery is the reason. A Tesla has the same curb weight as my 1/2 ton truck. Tires wear out quickly in Teslas. Did you ever consider "tire pollution" or battery recycling? Neither did Tesla.
So, forgive me, it is not "informed decision making". It is just great advertising/indoctrination.
