[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who buys an EV to go on road trips? It's a car to save gas commuting to work and running errands at this point. [/quote]

Who buys a car to do car things?  What, are you crazy?

Next, you'll be telling us buying and EV pickup truck that loses huge amounts of range is stupid, because who would buy a pickup truck to do pickup truck things? [/quote]

Right now there are things an EV (car or pickup) is better for, a huge amount of overlaps where they are similar, and things where ICE is better.

That’s the truth. If your use case is the things an ICE is better at— like driving from Michigan to Florida in the dead of winter— then get an ICE.

But there are plenty whose use case is things where an EV is a good or better than an ICE. [/quote]
Well put. We have a plug-in hybrid SUV for longer trips and a tiny full electric for daily short distance driving. Only buy gas for road trips now.[/quote]

So you need two cars rather than one.

What a stupid idea.

That's even worse for the environment than owning a single ICE, because you are consuming even more in order to make up for the shitty gaps EVs cannot reliably cover

Most families have two cars. Having one that is an EV and one that is ICE is better than two ICE.

We would have two cars regardless, so having one of them be an EV is great for us. [/quote]
