[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some charging stations also don’t work, are completely in-use, or have varying charging speeds making the whole experience unpredictable.[/quote]

Yes, most people use an EV as a local car for commuting and running errands. We almost never go on long road trips, and we only charge at home, so an EV works for us. [/quote]

Right. Because ICE are better for anything longer than a commute or errands. So EV’s haven’t come remotely close to being a full solution. [/quote]

We've taken an EV to ski trips, beach trips, to drop kids at sleep away camp in rural Virginia and to visit family and friends in New York. The biggest problem we had was having to wait about 20 minutes to use a charging station on the way back from New York once. It's definitely true that ICE cars are marginally more convenient for road trips, but once you realize you don't need the car to be fully charged (you just need it to have enough charge to get to the next spot to charge), planning is easier. And the fact that I never have to go anywhere to charge the car EXCEPT when on road trips, because we can charge at home, is a major improvement over ever needing to go buy gas. I just plug it in at night at home.[/quote]
