I will get an EV when the range/charge speed will allow me to make it 7 miles in 24 hours. And maybe if they're small enough to fit in a passenger train.

Also I want it to be rechargeable with hay bales! ...wait

Yes, but recharging those is messier and requires extra steps.

Plus I'm pretty sure that they'd be greeted with little enthusiasm on most passenger trains πŸ˜„

Sure, but donkeys big enough to ride aren't exactly little 😁

I will buy one when it is cheap enough that I van afford. Until then, no car.
