"How can you commute to work with EV that only have a range of 400miles? OP are you lying? I have to travel through mud road through a jungle so you must have too, it's impossible to not drive a diesel tank here."
"I mean sure most of my driving is only to work and back and I could install a charger at home to charge once a week, but what if I need to drive from Chicago to Dallas?" Uh, you could rent a car? Or like most Americans you probably have... 2 cars? Take the other one?
To be faire there aren't that many EV that could go 400 miles, and and they aren't that cheap neither. And that without even considering the pain of public chargers. Context : i was about to buy an EV a week ago to travel regularly from Luxembourg to Paris. I gave up after reading how painful it is to 1. Know which charger is available. 2. Whether that charger accepts my payment card. 3. Almost no charger accepts a débit card
That's when I use my ICE vehicle, or rent one for the longer journeys. but 99% of all my driving is in city and I charge at home - so it's really a non-issue.
