[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are getting ready to buy a Porsche. The car it is replacing is 10 years old and wont last until the EVs come out (2023 at the earliest). And we regularly drive 500 miles to our 2nd home (doing it again in 2 weeks) so we need at least 1 gas or hybrid car to make that drive without having the worry about recharging. I think they are projecting that the EV Macan will have a range around 200 miles. I sat in a Taycan recently and it was not comfortable, nor is the design practical for us to haul things.

We do plan to get a EV for a second car when that car needs to be replaced.[/quote]

Do you regularly make a 500-mile drive in your gas car without having to stop to refuel? Where is your vacation home? I'd bet there's a very convenient way to charge it on the way there.[/quote]

There is. Tesla Supercharger or Electrify America lots. We did a 500 mile trip recently. Stopped twice to recharge. 30 mins each stop. That was bathroom, eating, stretching legs. And then chilling out in the climate controlled car for another 10 mins each time. Not a hardship at all. You can sit in your car while it's charging. You should take breaks when driving anyway.  It's really not complicated.

Also, it cost uys about 20 dollars. Round trip

This is likely the experience that will be there in the future with the time dropped from 30 mins to 10 or 5.  This is where electric cars are headed:  charging stations with restrooms, food, other stuff to do. This will be the norm.  But not for a while.[/quote]
