Most of the range anxiety goes away once you see how effective overnight charging is.
If, in fact, you are one of those lucky enough to be able to park offstreet and charge at home overnight....

Depends where in the world you live. For the hundreds of millions of people living in Europe or countries like Singapore or Malaysia, thereâ(TM)s no need for a second car. People take the train for longer journeys. I was 43, married, with two kids aged 9 and 11, before I got a first car ten years ago - and it only had a range of 90 miles. I live in north London, and we just didnâ(TM)t have much need for a car up to that point. When we went to see my parents in Manchester, it was easier to get the train.
We're talking the US...and here it's hard to get by with only 1 car per family, although it can be done.
But in most middle class and up families, eventually everyone in the household has their own car.
Exactly this. People are not buying these large EVs without mandates or subsidies
This is the US.
The govt is supposed to be answerable to the people, not the other way around.
If the EVs can't compete on price and convenience without subsidies or even worse..."mandates", then they deserve to rot and it is not the governments business to step in and force people to to buy what they don't want, or is not ready for the market to compete for the consumers money....
The implication of course being that a substantial fraction on the entire country, after their weekly 9-5 grind and school run lines to kick back, have a few beers and haul trailers all weekend!
LOTS of boats down here where I live....lots of folks haut their boats to the launches and drop/pick them up over any given weekend...and often during the weeks for some people....
Myopic to the point of sociopathy.
It's only sociopathic IF you believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that through action or inaction to go EV only...that the world willl end soon. I'm not chicken little in mentality....so,.....
However, there's no convincing you that you might be wrong or just off a bit, Your ego won't allow it....your extreme view is the ONLY view....right?
Same sad asshole making the same sad remarks. Don't like it? Move to Russia.
Why should I?
I live in the US.
I echo the same sentiments are pretty much most of the US...
Why don't YOU move to Russia and try to force them to go all EV...?
We know this argument is total bad faith bullshit because the same folks making it also hate and refuse to support forms of public transport or really anything that would reduce car dependency. AKA "my conservative media diet has convinced me a gasoline burning engine must be central to my personal and political self definition"
Media doesn't have anything to do with my views on this...
I just know what I've grown up with and what I enjoy and fits into my lifestyle.
I've never had to depend on public transport, and it just isn't realistically a part of my life since I do not and will not live in dense urban areas, sharing walls in apartments like college students.
I likely wouldn't mind an EV if they had a reasonably priced 2-seater sports car version...instead of family tricksters.
But aside from not offering anything I'm interested in, I don't have a way to charge at home, so not really something that works for me and there is precious little public charging infrastructure where I live...and if you cannot charge at home over night, it just is not as convenient to own and refuel as needed as an regular ICE.
I like my motorcycle too....EV cycles REALLY aren't as effective or fun as ICE ones...range sucks if nothing else.
I like what I have....I see no reason to change. I don't give a fuck about giving up my long lived and enjoyed lifestyle to "save the planet".
I enjoy my "car dependency".....it suits the way I live and how I want to live. I don't seem to be alone in this....and don't want to be 'forced' to change for other peoples' perceived reasons.
My memories of college include feeling lucky if I had enough quarters to do laundry!
My memories of college include seeking lucky if I GOT LUCKY (ie got laid).
Oh to be a young lad chasing tail in the days when it was easy to just be boys and girls and no one had fear of false allegations, willfully fucking and no one yelling rape....or being put on blast on non-existent social media or having a fucking camera everywhere......those were the days.
Hell, I worked during the summers for money towards my college, along with parental help....and I had to do the old typical 'starving student' type thing.....save nickels and dimes for cheap beer/booze occasionally....pool funds for an occasional pizza...etc.
I didn't have money to wager.....
Is this what kids are using school loans for and racking up $100k's of debt over?
Sheesh.....and they they want a fucking bailout by the taxpayers....good luck on that.
Joe Biden is a far better person than Donald Trump. Mentally, emotionally, patriotically competently
LOL....you keep on smokin' whatever you're smokin'......seems to be good stuff.
As for asylum seekers and other types of immigration, I think we need to shut the door for awhile...period.
Until we can rectify the problems we have already in the country, let's quit letting anyone else in for awhile.....with only VERY rare exceptions.
Biden sure but through and through he was a decent person and it's quite sad we can't say that about the leader of our nation anymore.
You've gotta be shitting me...Biden was about as slimy, scummy and corrupt as they come.
His track record shows that from the early days of extreme pagerism, to corrupt connections via his family to foreign countries, often less than friendly to the US.
Hunters dalliances with foreign money and "no show" jobs was not an accident....done fully with Joes blessing while he still had a brain.
Joe Biden's corruption, and creepiness (did you is all the kid sniffing?) was long documented over his I whole political career.
He's as scummy as they come.....
Almost like they have a boner for masked law enforcement kidnapping people into rental vans.
If you're here in the US illegally....then I"m ALL FOR IT.
Frankly, I don't see a problem with this....I fail to understand why any American citizen would....
about environmental causes loose their shit when you tell them to cut back or eliminate eating meat.
Geez I guess they people would want to line all those on the "carnivore diet" against the proverbial wall and shoot them, eh?
By the way....do these documents give one carbon credits if you go on a diet???
If so, what can you buy with these credits?
