No, electric vehicles are not too expensive. In many cases, electric vehicles are cheaper to buy, they are always cheaper to fuel, and they are also cheaper to maintain.
Six months ago, the HOA community that I live in, Highline Crossing Cohousing Community in Littleton, Colo. went online with 19.6 worth of solar on our so-called Common House and on some of our shared garages here. I worked with other residents for 18 months to persuade residents to go solar, not an easy task in a community of 40 residents where 90% of the households have to vote in favor of a measure in order for it to pass. Yes, that is the "cohousing" ethic/approach -- cohousing is a form of living that is deliberately extra community-based and community-focuses.
Few things are as satisfying as knowing that your own, local rooftop solar system is actively, and 100% filling up the battery of electric vehicle!
A few years ago, I wrote one of the most read entries on SolarChargedDriving.Com, "Premature tire wear appears to be the biggest maintenance issue for EVs".
