Never going back on the pickup, but still have a couple of other ICE vehicles that don't have good EV alternatives.

Looking to replace our Ford Explorer (which has been the perfect family vehicle). We drove a Rivian R1S which was nice, but my wife hated one pedal mode driving.

And still looking to replace the Corvette soft top. Need an electric convertible sports car with a trunk that can hold golf clubs that costs under $100k (and is not a Tesla).
Don't need 2 sec 0-60. Just need open air driving in something a little sporty.

I would never go back but I would also never go exclusively EV. Maybe someday but not this day.

I agree, and always encourage anyone who is resistant to just give it a try for a couple days
One pedal driving is one of the top benefits of EV driving.
It simplifies driving by not having to move your foot back between throttle and brake constantly, and it’s a safety benefit with immediate deceleration.
Sounds small but is a total game changer.
Also makes downhill, mountain driving and trailer towing so effortless.

The deniers will not stop, https://www.carscoops.com/2024/06/new-study-finds-46-of-ev-buyers-in-the-us-want-to-go-back-to-ice/

I tried to find the study but couldn’t , they must have cherry picked the information . https://www.mckinsey.com/search?q=electric vehicle
I wonder who funded McKinsey for the study?

I guess they need more contracts to pay for the $650M settlement helping pharmaceutical companies target users with Opioids by "misbranding".

Again I wonder who is funding the "misbranding" of EV's and helping them "turbocharge" the sales of ICE vehicles which have been seeing market erosion, year over year.
