So, why would I want to spend more $$ for a vehicle that is so much more inconvenient than my ICE?
I never said you should want that. Just pointing out an option for people considering an EV that also take the occasional long trip.
I mean, with my ICE...I don't have to rent a vehicle for anything, it does everything and fits ever use case I want for a private vehicle.
Then by all means keep your ICE. I also have an ICE vehicle.
In my two car household, one ICE and one EV would be a great solution, but we'd need to run a very expensive power line from one side of the house to the other side, on top of investing in an expensive charger. We can't justify that expense.
EVs aren't for everyone, but they can be ideal for a lot of people.
