I agree with you. Cars seem to be discussed as an all or nothing decision process.
Many families where I am have two cars. Both cars spend an inordinate amount of time driving around the city. One car will be the preferred long distance family hauler.
Simply making the other car full electric seems like a no brainer to me.
- dotancohen 1y agoIn my family we kept the Impreza, but the electric (Tesla 3) became the long-distance hauler. It turns out to be cheaper to run long distances, quieter and more comfortable, and surprisingly has more room for baggage. We couldn't find a single reason to keep using the Impreza for long distance.
- _carbyau_ 1y agoCharging options are not so well built out in my country. It'll get better, but it's not there yet. So ICE for the long hauls, electric for the city running where you can reliably charge it at home.
- dotancohen 1y agoMakes sense. My country, Israel, is barely 500 km from top to bottom. Even for what we consider long distances here, the charge from home gets us anywhere, and another charge gets us back.
