    • cars hold more than 1 person
    • mountains mean that four hours is now three hours
    • cold weather means that four hours is now two hours
    • mountains plus cold weather means four hours is now one and a half hours
    • much of the (us) country lacks charging stations to support that, or even the infrastructure to support the charging stations
    • hybrid cars are the worst of both worlds
    • 300 miles is just barely under the safe distance between most major towns \cities in parts of the us
    • that means you barely or don’t get to your location on one charge
    • current charging infrastructure means taking a couple hours extra on many trips right now. At least some of this is improving, but very slowly.

    This is a very real problem. We know, we have family with an ev who need to travel to us to visit on occasion.

      I’ve never owned a car in my life that gets more than 300 miles on a single tank of gas.
