Sure, if you don't care about leaving a planet for your kids to live on.
But this discussion got derailed, I should not have used the muggle joke. I didn't mean to be condescending, but rather highlight how little people that don't drive EVs know about driving EVs and how they repeat the PR talking points that are being fed to us by the biggest money-making industry ever created in the history of mankind (the fossil fuel industry). Hence the mass market repeating things about "getting stuck in the middle of the highway with 2 screaming kids in the back seat" which somehow doesn't happen to people driving EVs.
