Aside from the infrequent trips down to the Gulf Coast, which we have not made since the start of the pandemic, the longest trip I would be likely to take would be a couple of times a year to the lake to tow our Party Barge.
The barge is stored in a storage shed 5 miles from the boat ramp, so the bulk of the 100 mile one way trip would be unloaded other than snacks and such.
Other than that, since I am for all intents and purposes retired now, my normal daily driving has dropped significantly.
Most days, the truck would never leave the driveway.
The most common longer trip would be a maximum of 50 miles round trip.
Generally, my most common trip would be a 5-10 mile round trip to a store or restaurant near my house.
If ANY EV could not survive my normal routine, it would not be worth having, at all.
I can see with the direction of the EV market, that availability of charging stations is going to grow dramatically in the near future, especially along major travel routes.
If there is a dollar to be made, you can rest assured someone is going to jump on that trend.
So, I don't see having to charge these things is going to be as big a hassle as we all envision.
It is just going to take a little more planning and maybe a few more stops along the way on extended trips, which may not be a bad thing anyway.
Since I will most likely never own an EV, I'll just watch everyone else fight over an available electrical outlet as I stand there and pump gas into my old hooptie truck.
How long do you think it is going to take before someone comes up with a trick charging cable that is going to let you sneak up beside another EV and "siphon" off the charge in their vehicle?
