"EVs are jumping the gun. Maybe they'll be ready in ten years," says man who wonders why his house in Florida is no longer insurable.

I'm fascinated by the idea of "gasoline superusers" converted to EVs.

"By contrast, the top 10 percent of motorists in the United States drive an average of about 40,200 miles per year and account for roughly one-third of the nation’s gasoline use. Persuading more of these “gasoline superusers” to go electric would lead to a much faster reduction in emissions, the Coltura report found."
