The haters can pound sand.
EV’s are going to be the cars of the future. Every time the stupid pipelines have delays and the usual suspects gauge & hoard - I’m enjoying carefree driving.

I’m happily fully charged in less than 2 hours with my level 2 clipper creek.

And, in my 2010 F150 FX4 I can ‘recharge’ in about 10 minutes; then travel 500+ miles. It costs me about $40-50 to “recharge”. I’m getting about 15 MPG (measured over the life of my vehicle, so far, tracked with fuelly.com).

I can travel over 100 miles down the road while you’re still charging.

Don’t know what you’re driving, but I’ve had a Volt for a daily driver for over five years, and I frickin’ love it. It’s a joy to drive. Long charge times are not a factor for me... but I must say, saving 2/3 on my fuel expenses is kind of nice. I don’t care if charging takes a couple of hours. My car sits around doing nothing at least 20 hours a day, anyway.

Plus, if I have to go someplace a couple hundred miles away, or when I’m not charged up, I still have range extender, so no limits on that front. Nevertheless, I’ve found that about 91% of my driving for the past 5.5 years has been electrically powered. That’s money that I have NOT sent to OPEC. Hopefully that’s meant a Jihadi somewhere had to go without an IED or two.

Tell me: which of the Democrat-controlled hive cities do you live in? And how long is your hive-city commute?
