I wasn't referring to a technology being difficult when it was new, I was referring to when it replaces a technology and adds a difficulty. There's a clear difference between an early mobile phone being huge when society had no expectation of being able to contact a person anywhere at any time and an electric car with a limited range and longer recharge time where society expects people to have few limits to mobility.

The corollary might be if early mobile phone users had to choose between a mobile phone or a land line. That wasn't the case but is with cars.

I have no problem with someone buying an electric car, but I can't see how it's a routine transition with new technology.
