I think this implies that a family has multiple cars. It is good enough to be a second car (yet IMO to expensive still and while Tesla gets on the cheap side, its interior is not for everyone).
However, my point is - I don't want 2 cars and EVs don't yet tick all boxes.
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoHow so? What I'm implying is that most families don't need a car that can drive more than 300 miles a day. And on the rare occasion that a family that doesn't drive more than 300 miles in a day has to do so, charging for 45 minutes every 270 miles or so isn't such a huge inconvenience that it justifies burning hydrocarbons the other 364 days of the year.
- dainiusse 3y agoThe problem is that in reality it is not every 270 miles :) Take it a a normal winter with -20 celsius and it is impossible to drive 270 miles on one charge in a motorway. My parents live 240 miles away and yet it is almost impossible to get there on a single charge in winter (not talking about super expensive cars).
- OkayPhysicist 3y agoHow often are you making that specific 240 mile drive that adding 45 minutes to it is a dealbreaker on the vehicle?
- dainiusse 3y agoThat is a dealbreaker - my parents live that far and I do this drive at least twice a month. And I can't afford stopping in between - that is just too small distance and I want to make it as fast as I safellly can. On the bright side - I like how silent EVs are and definitely would like one. Considering a PHEV as it seems that better batteries are quite far away now
