I've looked at the charger maps, I'd have to pray the vehicle could make 350 minus any added drain from going over mountains before I reached a charging station, if I were to go visit my mother in the same state. On the way back I better pray I could make it entirely home because there's no charger after that one I mentioned, on the return trip.

Any plumber worth a damn has already hired more plumbers (and sometimes HVAC techs) underneath him to do that residential stuff by the time he's 30 and he's moved on to commercial and industrial plumbing. By the time 50-55 hits he's busy taking two months of vacation at a time while his crew is doing the heavy lifting. By the time 60 hits he's no longer doing any sort of field work, he's busy doing nothing but bidding on new jobs for his crew, etc.
