And we are going to look back in ten years and realize that a ton of it was big oil misinformation about EV utility.
Right now, an EV will add around 10 minutes of travel time per 300 miles over an average gas vehicle, and that's if you are really working hard to minimize stopping time on the ICEV. For most people who can charge at home, this means they will save far more time by not visiting a gas station every two weeks than they will lose on occasional road trips.
Yet if you go to any discussion on the internet, you will see tons of the same shit where people have this mistaken idea that their one 5+ hour trip per year somehow prevents them from having an EV.
