” Camping trips could be particularly problematic, unless campgrounds really upgrade their electric hookups”

Your campgrounds have gas stations?

No, but in a day’s driving around there will usually be a gas station around that take 5 minutes to fill up at. Again, 30 minutes or more is just time I don’t want to sacrifice, especially on a weekend or 3-day camping trip where every second is an extra blessing from God.

Also, many of “our close spots” work out well on one tank of gas, this time in our Ford Explorer pulling a pop-up camper. Drive there, do a little driving / exploring while there / drive back / refill on next trip to town. Again, turn up a used electric Explorer in good shape for $10k-$12k with the same actual range on a “fully” (by Tesla’s recommendation) charged 5 y/o battery, and instead recharge upon return home: Works for me. They just don’t exist, yet, and may or may not by the time I get too old for such trips. Which may only be a few years if I don’t get out for such activities more!
