I am looking forward to electric cars. I think it is a great concept and love the high torque, simplicity, less moving parts, lower maintenance requirements. That said...

I'm with you on this. I went ahead and bought a Chevy Bolt and am really enjoying it. I know that I am not saving the environment, but I enjoy the quietness, the low maintenance etc... On a warm day, I can go over 300 miles, and there are plenty of fast charging points all over the place.

Let’s go visit president Trump at Mar A Lago this 4th of July so we can cheer him if he makes a public appearance. It’s about 650 miles for me and I’m going to take my minivan which gets 24 highway mpg. It takes me anywhere from 10 to 11.5 hours depending on the traffic to get to Palm Beach and I stop once or twice for gas depending on whether I see a cheap place - I have to stop once because with a 20 gal tank and 24 hwy mpg it just wont get there on a single tank. It takes my family about 15 minutes to do all of the requisite chores at the travel plaza including filling the tank. ANd lets run the air conditioning since it’s going to be hot in July in FL. How long would it take you in your Bolt if you lived 650 miles from there?

"there are plenty of fast charging points all over the place."

Where are you that has the above. Plus, what is considered "fast charging"? I keep reading it's about 2 hours.
