I think an EV is a good solution for local driving. The Nissan Leaf looked good, but our son lives in a distant suburb, a round trip was at the limit. My wife selected a Prius V, I love it.

I have a friend with a Leaf who loves it - but he doesn’t have to drive far. I used to enjoy having a small motorcycle for the same reason.

Look on the bright side. That’s still better than Fred could do.

They bought a ridiculously expensive(probably subsidized), very limited range automobile to make them feel morally superior. Now they expect taxpayers to throw even more money down a rat hole so they can use it.

I might do a hybrid at some point, but I’d never do a plug in electric.
At least Texas is talking about taxing electric vehicles.

If it was a British-made car I would have assumed part of the time was spent getting it off the jacks and putting the wheels back on it.

Why did they leave home with 45 mile range left on an electric car to begin with? Also depending on the battery many vehicles can go 100s of miles without a new charge. Not that I don’t have my gripes about FORCING electric cars n us. IT IS WRONG and ANTI- AMERICAN. But these two were not living in the real world of smart trip planning.
