Anyone who is honest knows that EVs are a liberal fad. The SCIENCE proves EV lithium batteries are highly destructive to the environment, far more than ICE vehicles. At best an EV is a short distance, in-town commuter car. EVs are the compact fluorescent cars of today. I’ll wait for a hydrogen car from Toyota.
That’s why we bought a plug-in hybrid minivan. For short around town trips and a lot of idling, we spend most of the time on electric avoiding ICE wear and tear and the level 2 charger at home keeps it topped off between errands.
For our longer family vacations, we just fill up and go with the ICE engine. Our battery pack is way smaller than a full EV and we get the benefit of both, plus not having to rely on a single fuel source.
Over the last several thousand miles, we’ve been averaging between 40-50 MPG equivalent on the combo of electric and gasoline.
