And again, there is only such a small percentage that's driving MORE than what this early generation of EVs can already do, it's just nonsense to be so worried about the range. If you really drive a lot of plus 250-mile trips, then you just need to look for another car. I mean I don't tell my 65-year-old mother to drive a GT3 to get her groceries, do I.
I think you cannot apply your use case to mine. It’s not nonsense to me. I routinely make 400+ mile drives and waiting for a battery to charge back up is annoying to me. I was merely relaying why EVs don’t work for me. I am not telling people what to buy or not. I don’t tell your mother what to drive either.
