My wife’s Nissan Rouge will give me about 35 miles per gallon efficiency and is not electric. My Ram 1500 will go 500 miles at 19.5 miles per gallon and is not electric. That is both combined city and open road. I would never consider an electric vehicle for long trips due to recharge times and costs. Oddly if I had a daily commute to work of less than fifty miles and a vehicle that could fully recharge on my home 220 voltage it might be logical.

That’s the definition of a plug-in hybrid.

I took an Uber ride last week from home to the San Jose airport. It was a Tesla 3. The driver has driven for Uber for quite a while and this is his fourth car. He loves it because of the minimal maintenance requirements. The only fluid is in the windshield washer!
Our daughter’s long-time boyfriend drives a Chevy Bolt. They can charge it at home with their rooftop solar, but, if he needs a full charge, he drives over to the next town and uses the free civic chargers at the library! He takes his folding bike with him and rides home, then goes back to get the car a few hours later.
