Why did you not understand it then?

In short, yes, but only before addiction.

Tell me you’ve never been snowboarding without saying you’ve never been snowboarding.

When the US pulled out the Taliban didn’t have to fight to take control. The population was ready and willing to put them back into power.

This was the choice the country made. It’s not our place to step into their internal politics at this point. The US did that for years and they decided very clearly they didn’t want that.

I live in Colorado, but your point is mostly valid. If you don’t have a home charging solution then an EV starts looking a lot more questionable.

My commute is about 60 miles. The car reports I will burn a bit over 50% battery going there and back again when at full charge, and after the full round trip it’s generally only off by about 1-2% from its topped off estimate. So for my own real world experience? It’s generally accurate for it’s range estimation and when it’s off I generally know why (Driving 85 mph on low traffic days does not help me at ALL).

But still, if your business has you traveling that much then yeah, an EV doesn’t make much sense.

It’s like twitter. Sure there are a lot of people choosing not to use it because of that idiot, but there are a lot of people that just don’t care.

This is a very fair concern with a lot of people switching to EV. I’m lucky enough to be a homeowner with a garage, but if you don’t have a good charging solution either at work or home? EV isn’t right for you today.

One of the best parts of them is that I’ve had to stop to charge in route twice in 4 years of ownership.

That’s around 4 hours of highway speed driving.

Curious, what in the world are you doing that regularly has to on the road for that duration of time?

I’ve owned an EV for about 4 years now. The number of times I’ve been forced to stop at a charging station is twice in that time period. A stop at a gas station is easily 5-10 minutes, something I cannot do at home. The amount of time I’ve personally saved in traveling is huge. Days of time at a pump I never had to spend.

But, I’m only on the road about 2-3 hours a day for my commute. I’m not spending 4-5 hours a day driving very often.
