“ My diesel sedan can do 810 (Interstate) miles on a full tank (I’ve done it before). It’s as comfortable as can be as it gobbles up those highway miles. When empty it can be re-fueld in about 4 minutes at any one of about 40,000 stations from coast-to-coast and border-to-border.
Why would I *possible* want *any* of today’s EVs? ”
Do you drive 800 miles every day?
How’s that diesel’s fuel efficiency, wear & tear on daily short drives? Don’t bother, I know the answers.
An EV works as a daily commuter if your commute is a round trip of 100 miles or less. It’s going to extend the life of your diesel sedan…which you should keep for long drives.
Yes...diesels are designed for highways,not city/suburban driving. But the funny thing is that 95% of my miles in this vehicle are on Interstates. I’m lucky enough to live across the street from a train station and within walking distance of a supermarket,etc.
