Sounds like my example scenario would not work for you. That being said, renting may not be necessary, since many people already own gas powered cars, and most electric vehicle owners already have another car. Since you already have a gas-powered car that can do the trip, it might make sense for your first electric car to have short range, and you just use the gas-powered car for the long trips. Not trying to move the goal posts, just remembering a more realistic alternative to renting as I sip my first cup of coffee. > When I own it I don't worry about what my kids are doing to the car - as anyone with kids knows they will do something. I hope your kids are of the young variety lol
