It’s very simple EVs are wonderful commuter cars if you have a charger at home; nothing comes close. For long road trips, they are not a great option apart from those with lots of time & patience on their hands.

Don’t take it so personally ?

Dooming & glooming over things that haven’t even occurred, usually centered around politics where the sky is perpetually falling - most often seen on Facebook rants.
