People generally assess their needs when buying a vehicle. Patterns, locations etc. The average person travelling to remote locations without infrastructure would be informed enough not to buy an EV. Right tool for the right job.

I have assessed my needs, and an ICE vehicle is the only one that works for me. Now, a hybrid would work fine for DW, and we may consider that when the time comes, but an EV won't work for either of us.

I just get tired of the EV Social Warriors who won't accept that my needs exclude their pets.

On a semi-regular basis, I need to drive about 1,500 miles in a 3 day period. My ICE has no problem with that. I have actually had EV Social Warriors tell me that it is not necessary to drive that far that fast, and I need to take 6 days to drive it, which an EV will do. They have no idea just why that 3 day period is required, and don't care. It doesn't fit their world view.

Totally in agreement with you on this. People should be able to drive whatever they want as long as it is within the law. Lots of people here drive pickups. They never tow anything or carry anything but they like driving them. Who cares. Their business.

Although lots of EV drivers drive 500 miles per day. However, if there are no Superchargers on those routes an EV would be a bad choice.
