He highlights issues like limited range, high costs, fast tire wear, and reduced battery efficiency in cold weather. Additionally, he emphasizes the challenges of finding reliable charging stations, especially in remote areas, where vandalism often leaves stations inoperative. These factors contribute to consumers’ reluctance to adopt EVs.
