This is funny. The company I work for provides our vehicles and they offered the Tesla Model 3 up for us this past year, since I was due for a new car I went and test drove one and they are really cool cars so I decided to order one, until the fleet company called me and listed all the requirements and suggestions for owning an EV. For one I dont have the 250 amp service to my house required by my fleet company for charging, then they also suggested I do not park it in my garage due to risk of fire. Couple that with the range considerations I wisely chose to go another route with a Honda CRV Hybrid and man am I glad I did. Today for example, I put 500+ miles on my CRV and didn't have to stop for gas once. Had I had the Tesla I would have had to find a supercharger somewhere in the middle of the no-where I was today (which dont exist) just to get home. I know the fire thing comes up a lot, and of course ICE vehicles catch fire more than EV's but Id wager that is simply because there are many many times more ICE cars on the road the EV. Ive seen an EV fire, its no joke and the fire crew could not put it out, they had to block off a sizable radius around the car which included shutting down the highway for hours to let the thing burn out. Then the highway was damaged so badly that it was only one lane for weeks. That's enough for me, I know they are great for those that can use them within their limits but for me it will be a long time before they can do what I need them to do.
