Washington State Program Wants Gasoline Superusers to Go Electric – Roadshow [CNET]

The case for SUVs is a little trickier since long-range electric SUVs with off-road capability are still kind of rare and still demanding a serious price premium — the Rivian R1S is nearly $80,000 in base trim with the long-range battery — but that likely won’t be the case for long. Electric crossovers for road use are a little easier to swing.

So, what do you think? Can these gasoline superusers be convinced that electric vehicles can work for them? Will the relative price parity and long range be enough to convince them, or will the government have better luck pushing the reduced running costs angle? Would it take a serious subsidy like a tax credit to move the needle? Let us know in the comments.
