And also a simple fact, that current EVs are simply bad products from a UX perspective.
Getting a new car has felt like a step up in quality of life, but not so with EVs. You get an overall worse experience.
A part from already mentioned issues like, charging infrastructure, range and charge times there are everyday things of living with a car.
Removing stocks and buttons for essentials controls like drive select, turn signals, door locks and opening the glove box.
Inability to fix small issues like replacing a light bulb or fixing a lock. Aging software that becomes unsupported by manufacturer a few years in. But is much more essential to car operation, than before.
And low resale value that makes these very expensive to buy vehicles, essentially single use appliances with planned obsoletion embedded.
Living with EVs is tougher than ICE cars. And until that at least equalizes, what regular consumer would want that?
This sounds great in theory. It's been my job to review screen recordings of user sessions and it's often inconclusive.
You can diagnose users not using some features or encountering bugs,, but churn seems out of reach. for example, a champion leaving/being laid off, budget cuts, lack of functionality, etc.
