[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve got 80,000 miles on a 12-year-old gas car and 18,000 miles on a 3-year-old EV, so I feel pretty confident I’m never going to need to worry too much about how much range the EV loses by 200,000 miles.

There does seem to be a lot of opposition to EVs in this thread that’s based on worst-case scenarios or rare situations rather than real-life use. [/quote]

My neighbors regularly take their Tesla to their second home in NC. Full chargers takes 20 minutes and they often have to wait 20 minutes for their turn. This is not worse case. This is every time they go. They also have to stop twice on a trip where an ICE car would only need to stop once.[/quote]

I have an EV, and I don’t find stopping for 20 minutes on a four-hour road trip (or stopping twice) to be such a horrible experience. If that seems terrible to you, I agree, maybe don’t get an EV. But I also never have to get gas or stop at a rapid charger literally any other time, because I just plug the car in in my driveway. [/quote]

+1. I would normally stop every 2 or 3 hours during a road trip anyway because I like to stretch and walk around. Someone who wants to do road trips with the least amount of stopping time should not get an EV. [/quote]
