You're thinking of daily commuting. But some people do long drives where you don't want to stop for 24 hours to charge the car to continue. Even 2 hours is not nice.
- adrianN 7y agoOnce we replaced the cars of all people who don't do that so often that renting a different car for the trip is not an option we can think about that problem again. Maybe supercharger technology has improved from today's 30 minutes by then.
- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoPeople really need to think carefully before dragging out the "they can rent a car" thing. The issue isn't that it's not an option, it's that people don't want to do it. Most people would much rather drive their own car than a rental. Renting a car is usually something you do as a last resort.
- ptaipale 7y agoAnother point is that the rental is not always available, at least at a reasonable price. I drive most of my kilometres during certain seasons: Christmas, Easter holiday, school holidays (when visiting parents etc). These are exactly the times when very many others also want to make similar trips, so the rental companies are out of capacity, or rather, there is surge pricing.
- adrianN 7y agoYeah great, people also don't want to breathe toxic car exhaust and they also don't want to live in a +4 degree world. Sometimes you have to deal with minor inconveniences.
- HeyLaughingBoy 7y agoGood luck getting people to change their behavior if you keep inconveniencing them!
