To: Tell It Right

EV’s can work for daily commute to work in a bigger city. Beyond that, EV’s do not make any rational sense for several more decades to come.

Our EV works for my wife and me on most of our long trips. My wife wants to stop every 200 miles anyway and walk around 10-15 minutes. That's what charging our EV is like anyway (on trips).

Of course, that assumes the trips are in areas that have plenty of fast road-side chargers to choose from. Which we have from Alabama heading most directions (since the eastern portion of the U.S. is somewhat densely populated). We're even talking about a possible road trip to New England and Canada to watch the fall foliage change as we slowly head back -- that long trip has plenty of charging options.

But if we head northwest from here, or due west any further than east Texas, we'll take the ICE pickup because those areas have few chargers. The same for if I go on a trip without my wife (which I haven't done since we bought the EV a year ago) since I'd rather drive longer than 200 miles between stops, and when I stop I feel like I'm running late if the stop takes longer than 5 minutes. LOL
