I'd have to pay $10-15k more money to get a smaller car that wouldn't fit my young family loaded up for a 2 night trip at my sisters. We'd have to stop at the one charger available in a 2 hour radius off our route, and still would risk getting stranded due to range issues if driving during the winter. We make these trips monthly.
It's not elitism, it's that people have economic constraints, the electrics cars in the marketplace are at a cost differential that equates to a year of college, and have huge real world disadvantages compared to lower cost alternatives.
- travisporter 3y agoI agree it's not elitism. Real world constraints are the main issue. But still, you are not the typical driver by making a 300+ mile round trip every month. The real issue is charging infrastructure. I'm sure you wouldn't mind a 10 min break in an ioniq 5 or similar to go 20-80%, but these are few and far between right now.
