I have a BMWi3, with a range extender generator that burns gas. I have a 220 volt 20 amp circuit in the garage. I get a full charge in 12 hours. 2 gallons of gas gets me about 100 miles.

So for me, EV works fine. Every morning, my car is 100 percent charged, ready for 100 plus E miles. Plus the 100 gas miles. I typically only drive 40 or less. If I need to do 300 miles, I just make one stop for two gallons of gas for 6 bucks.

My other car is a ford explorer with a V8 that gets 18 MPG.
When I drive that thing, it kills me watching the gas pump ring up 50 bucks.

I do think EV is the future. Five years ago, I thought they were a stupid libtard joke. This car changed my mind. Its fast as hell, and I spend almost no time or money at gas stations.

Yes, EV works for short distances, daily commute and shopping trips. One really needs a gas car for other purposes. BTW, the reason gas costs a lot more is, because it pays lot of taxes.

Your range extender will be banned in 2035. I drive 80 miles every day for work. With my family we have five cars in the driveway. EV will be nothing but a pain in the ass.
