Re: Common Perceptions of EV's
The whole problem with range is that when people buy a car, they want to know that it will cover 100% of their possible uses. So even if they only drive 30 miles per day 96% of the time, they don't want to rent an ICE or anything for the other 4% of the time, even if it's cheaper.
That's what I plan on doing because it's still much cheaper! I'm still without an EV, but once I have one, it'll be my city car and I'll just rent for driving out of the city, or I'll keep my civic beater and take that on trips.
