EVs would make a great 2nd or 3rd car for running around town or commuting, especially if your employer has free charging. But charging, range and price will relegate them to 2nd car status for most families until those problems are solved.

It’s a fine solution for a limited use case.

Commuter/Fleet vehicle where range isn’t a major issue.

Buying a limited use case vehicle for a general use case need is stupid.

Which is why this limits it largely to the affluent to have a second or third vehicle.

Most of my driving (and most of most peoples driving) is commuter based, no lie around that, but I also can drive up to 2000 miles plus during a vacation every year.

Sure I could buy an EV, and rent a gas vehicle for those two weeks, but it would be more expensive for me to do that.

When I buy my next vehicle, which is coming up, EV’s aren’t even on my radar.. I will buy an ICE vehicle, possibly a hybrid if I find one at a price I like, but not a chance in ever loving hell will I be purchasing an EV.

I need to know if I need to get to California from PA for whatever reason I will spend the time actually driving and not charging
