The long road-trip is the Achilles heel of the EV. As I mentioned in another thread, I drove the long stretch of I-5 between Modesto, CA, and the Tehachapis a few days ago, and I counted no fewer than 3 Teslas in distress on the side of the road. Drivers miscalculate range. The vehicles themselves generate range estimates that prove overly optimistic, and drivers end up on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with a dead battery. Who needs that kinda crap? If you’re using your EV for short commutes around local area and recharging every day, then okay this might work for you. But the venerable internal-combustion vehicle blows your EV away when it comes to road-trip convenience.
You would think by now the rationale of hybrids outweigh the EV only vehicles. I'll keep my $10k 11 year old used chevy volt thank you.
