There are many more downsides. Range drops in cold weather, and in very cold weather chargers don't work. In perfect weather, 1 in 4 public chargers don't work. Then there is the issue with reliability as EVs are full of pointless gadgetry designed to try and justify the cost. I doubt these vehicles will be on roads after ten years.
In practical terms, again for most people, these are non issues. Why do i care about the range being lower in winter when the battery is charged at home and i dont drive more than 400km in a day?
There are fewer moving parts in an EV than there are in icev
And those gadgets are in almost all modern cars, ev or not.
