Do you like or hate Electric Cars in general?

I like most of them.

I only like certain ones (Tesla, Toyota, etc.)

I hate them.

I feel indifferent about them.

Generally is an electric engine prefect for cars, high torque by low rotation speed, can be used as brake generator for recycling of kinetic energy, it's quiet and doesn't need oil changes like Otto/Diesel engines.
Problematic are batteries. They have limited life span, that makes them very bad for environment. Production of energy cells demands very poisonous materials like cobalt. Charging and discharging produces lot heat that needs a cooling solution, it reduces significantly effectiveness. Most full electric cars have specialized cooling/heating unit for batteries that needs a lot of energy even if a car isn't in use.
Capacity of current batteries is limited. For people who drive a lot are electric cars still not an option.
By the way, Tesla's interior feels and looks really cheap for a car in this price class.

I believe that electric cars are in our future, but at this time most are only good for around town.
The unknown is how much pollution is created by the manufacture of the batteries and the disposal of them when they wear out.
The other is, how is the electricity generated to charge the batteries.
If you say wind power. I just read that the fiber glass blades only have a life span of 30 years and that currently they are buried in the ground because there is no way to recycle them yet.
I might own one if I live long enough.

Thank you for the MHO!

They have a much smoother driving experience and are usually aesthetically pleasing. Moreover, they are more environmentally-friendly. However, gas-cars still have a more hands-on experience that electric ones cannot emulate. And its still gonna be a while before the range of an electric car rivals that of a gas-powered one. I am not partial for Tesla though, their cars are overpriced... and screw Elon Musk.

I hate them right now. They are outrageously expensive to buy and to maintain in my country. They also seem to be particularly vulnerable to the elements. Three days ago, there was heavy rain and flooding in my country; a guy driving a Prius Hybrid got caught in the flooding---and his car shut down!

I started to accept it I even dont hope the sound of engine's. It is so quiet but I heard that Germany prohibit it so quiet. I understand cause it is dangerous that you dont know they come to your back but I also hate the sound of sport car's.

Hate them. I like the feeling a petrol or a diesel car gives and the sound of reving the engine plus i love it when the sound of the car indicates that i need to change the gear. Electric cars have non of that thrill.

I very much like the idea of them. I would like to test drive one someday.

Indifferent
Dont want one, but don’t care if other people buy them

They drive really well. Lots of get up. If only we invested in this back in the 30s we'd have electric gas stations on every block.

[_Whatever]

I don't know enough about them to have an opinion. I've never owned or even driven one.

Never drove one but I would be interested in the electric semi as you get all your touques
