why not just rent a car instead?
- gottorf 3y agoNot the GP, but many people prefer to make long trips in cars that they're used to and personalized to their liking. I've certainly been in rental cars whose seats have contorted my body uncomfortably, if nothing else only because I wasn't used to it.
- nradov 3y agoBecause most rental cars suck, and if you want an actual good one for a week or more they charge a fortune. And sometimes when you show up at the rental car agency the specific model you reserved isn't even available.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoBut you are essentially comparing driving sucky ICE car 365 days a year vs driving amazing EV 364 days a year + 1 day of very sucky ICE car.
- nradov 3y agoNo, that's not what I'm comparing. First, my ICE cars are hardly "sucky". They work great and get me, my family, and all of our stuff where we need to go safely, reliably, and affordably. Second, we're talking about road trips here so generally at least 4 days at a time. Any many of us do several such trips per year. Talk to any parent who has children involved in travel club sports.
- dzhiurgis 3y agoYou clearly haven't driven EV if you think ICE don't suck. They suck, extremely suck. Especially old ones that lack modern tech.
- nradov 3y agoNah. I've driven EVs. Modern ICE vehicles have all the same tech.
- earthling8118 3y agoI only own an ICE and it isn't even remotely a competition. EVs win, hands down.
