Just curious how often do you go more than 300 miles in a day, and if you do with any frequency how much would it really hinder you to stop for 45 minutes every 300 miles?
I don’t live in a city. My commute is around 100 miles. I drive 500 miles one way about 16 times a year. I drive 2400 miles twice a year.
Okay so you’re an outlier for electric cars and should stick with a gas car for the foreseeable future.
Yeah. Hence the reply. You didn’t believe me?
No, your original post just came off as “electric cars are completely useless. They don’t fulfill my very specific needs”. Maybe that wasn’t your intention, iunno, but why even say it in the first place?
My post was “I will get an electric vehicle when…” I didnt say they were useless. You read into that with your biases. My biases read this OP as ‘Dumb asses don’t realize they can charge the car” when the reality is way more complicated. Charging takes time which extends the travel. The batteries don’t last, because batteries. And they’re not cheap when they degrade to 10% of their range over a handful of years.
