Wonder what the armed robberies are like at those places.

You plug in an EV, you’re stuck. No driving off in an emergency to get away from the bad guys

Are you that dense? Even at 10% SOC you have 30 to 40 miles of range left you can just drive away it’s not like EVs are at zero when charged and can’t move. At least argue from a point of fact. Most EV driver’s never take their pack below 20% that’s 80 miles in a Tesla. When the fuel light comes on in my Volvo it has 40 miles left and it means it. Am I “trapped” if the fuel light is on and I pull over in the hood for gas or can I drive away and go somewhere else. Same for a Tesla the plug has a safety release if you drive off while it’s plugged it will pop off automatically saving both the connector and the cable. You don’t like EVs we get it but stop with the hyperbole it doesn’t help your argument at all and makes most right wing people look like nutjobs.

I have 6 vehicles my Tesla is now my favorite in the stable. Volvo S60, Ford Expedition, F250 diesel,Tesla M3,Harley fattail, Yamaha R6, and a off road only rally car. My Tesla has the best tech it literally drives itself in Dallas gridlock traffic. I have taken it as far gas Houston and San Antonio now it was a much better trip than the S60 it replaces for all but the longest trips. My trucks do truck stuff only never trips unless a client is paying for it. I do trailer my sports bike to the devils backbone from time to time to rip it at 100mph. The fattail never leaves town. So far I am utterly impressed with the Tesla’s tech and their charging network range anxiety is a boomer myth for those so tactically inept to ignore the car screaming at them yo follow it’s lead to a supercharger or L2 alone it’s path should you need it.

For the S.A. Trip I stopped once in Temple at bucees for snacks , beer and a piss by the time I was done with that I had filled to 85% drive to .S.A. Went out before the Airbnb to three places all over S.A. Then back to the North side plug in and when my hungover self woke up in the afternoon it was back at 100% SOC with 340 miles range in it. I wouldn’t drive 200 miles the whole week I was in S.A. Even going out from the North side to downtown every night. Range anxiety is a mental issue not a practical one.
