Not sure what kind of EV you have. Ours goes over 150 km most weekdays, somewhere beteeen 20 km and 200 km on weekend days, and has taken the family on multiple 1000 km or more road trips now.
My wife drives the EV most days. I cannot count the number of times I have been running late and had to stop to fill my gas guzzler up. It is freeway most of the way to work ( no gas stations ) and I have risked it more than once. The EV “tank” is full every morning so it never puts her through that.
In practice, I have way more range anxiety in my ICE vehicle than my wife does in her EV.
Supplements and town cars? If I could afford a new vehicle, my ICE vehicle would be the supplement.
- dieselgate 3y agoYou present a valid argument but I think comparing an EV being charged every morning to not always having a full fuel tank in an ICE, in the morning, is apples to oranges. From that perspective the EV has an advantage but it’s not a direct comparison.
- hacker_88 3y agoYou sometimes don't have full tank every morning because that's when you go full up. Going to fill up is a chore much different from plugging it at home . Charging up at a station is still a bigger chore but on a different relaxed way
- thechao 3y agoThis is my experience. We use the EV for everything, except drives to West Texas — although I saw plenty of EVs in Alpine, and a few down in Terlingua(!). If I had a no-shit 400 mile EV, I'd never look back.
