My car right now is 68% full and it estimates that I have 170 miles of range. I turned off the climate and it says 206. I think I get 4 miles per kilowatt with 64 kilowatts maximum. I think I have 40 kilowatts in my battery right now.
I am trying to be humble and not to convince other people to buy electric. I am sharing my personal experience with owning an electric car for over 3 years. It is quite pleasant. I personally like the OCD aspect of finding all the ways of getting free electricity. For instance I get to charge at work for 6 dollars a month. Except for that 6 dollars I haven’t paid for electric charging in 3 months. I don’t charge at home.
I drive to work, for work and some just running around and it amounts to about 1000 miles a month. I have had this car since September 2019 and it right now has 36361 miles. I live in North California and have driven to Portland 3 times, Los Angeles once and Bishop California. Charging is available at necessary distance intervals.
I actually don’t want too many people in electric cars. I think hybrids are the way to go. When everyone has an electric car they will have to charge at home most of the time. The congestion around public chargers will be unbearable.

Huh? You feel proud to be an electric car owner? That's weird.

I think most people would not share those OCD sentiments. I personally like the convenience of being able to fill up a tank of gas from thousands upon thousands of easily findable locations.

Meaning you have to suspend your trip for possibly hours while waiting for a recharge, an inconvenience that most people would not want to experience.

Just another reason why the government forcing everyone into electric cars is a terrible idea.
