While I genuinely like the idea of battery powered vehicles, they just don't work for much of the driving we do these days. Case in point, we headed from Colorado Springs to eastern Oregon last week and put down 1040 miles in 17 hours. No need to stop for a hotel but 17 hours in one shot is about our limit when traveling with kids. We did the same trip in reverse last night. There is no way we could have done that same trip in an EV in a single shot. The most painful part was the multiple $200 fill ups.
I get that. But doing that in an electric might have added an hour or so to the trip. Depending on your schedule probably not that big of a deal. The “fuel” would have been a lot cheaper though. :).
Of course if you were towing that’s another thing. :). Not going to happen with any EV on the market today. :).
Cheers.
