To add to the edge case -- my normal commute is 50 miles a day. But on closing day of the sale of my old house, and purchase of the new one, I had two closings to attend to, in different locations. Had to drive from my old house to the one closing (about 30 miles in one direction), then to the closing on the new house (30 miles back, plus another 20 miles to get to that closing's location). Then had to drive to the storage unit to get a few things I needed for that night at the new house (bedding, some furniture items). An electric car with a 200 mile range would have had me extremely anxious. Oh, and when it was all over, still had to drive into the office for an hour for a meeting.
- GFischer 9y agoThat's an edge case. Much as you wouldn't buy a moving van if you need it only once every N years, wouldn't this sort of examples be solved by Uber or similar? I know it sucks when you have a perfectly serviceable car :) but I wouldn't dismiss an electric car just because of this edge case when a solution is very simple.
