Exactly! I hate the 90% of drives are less than 50km argument which is always made about range issues. I don't want to buy another car for the 10%.
Also I take the train to work, I walk/cycle to the store. Almost all my driving is for hiking, climbing, skiing, or other vacations. I won't buy a car that has a max range with a new battery and no AC on that just barely gets me there and back.
- Philip-J-Fry 4y agoYou don't buy another car for the 10%. EVs do more than 50km... You rent a car for the case where you're going over 400km and charging is an issue. Probably 0.1% of trips, maybe less.
- carlmr 4y ago400km is already only with new battery and no AC on most affordable EVs. And I do 400km trips most of the months, it's definitely more than 0.1% for me.
