“I couldn’t imagine stopping every 150 miles for a few hours of charging.”

Which is why I don’t thing full EV’s are a good solution. Both of the cars I have are gasoline powered, and between the two, I can still cover 300 miles in one of them without worry.

My Miata will do about 30 mpg on the highway, but it only carries about 12 gallons of fuel. The Benz has a 21-gallon tank, and if I can resist the temptation to drive it at autobahn speeds it can go about 500 miles before I need to refill it.

I do event marketing and customer training. My company vehicle is a F150 and I often pull a 16’ trailer loaded with gear.

Even with that I get about 200-250 miles out of a tank.
