Modern V/8's

Electric power makes a lot of sense in certain applications, just not all of them. For passenger cars doing mostly short trips it's much more efficient than IC engines. But professionals in the industry already know electric motors and batteries can't replace engines in long-distance transportation, especially things like OTR semi-trucks and freight trains as well as high-altitude large freight or passenger aircraft. Unless battery technology makes a huge leap forward in energy density (related to size and weight) this is the way things will be for the foreseeable future.

I will likely own an EV at some point to use as a daily commuter car but it won't be one I buy since I just straight-up don't like the design and excess of features in vehicles made in the last 3-5 years. Giant touch screen displays and chunky restrictive interiors aren't my thing. I also can't stand the lack of visibility and intrusive annoying safety aids like lane departure assist, low-speed collision detection and parallel parking assist. I can see how assisted emergency braking is nice but I'd rather just pay attention to the damn road. I will likely convert an older car, perhaps a less-desirable classic Mopar, to electric power and rock that.
