People arguing about the price of gas, but as soon as someone mentions driving an EV they’re “stupid” and woke

    Towing and cold weather also play an important factor in the range as well.

      I’ll agree to add towing, but again unless you’re a professional truck driver that’s a very rare instance, and I’d point to my 2-car household thing as a solution. (Call me crazy but for those rare times I need a truck I rent one. The only times I toe are when I’m helping friends move and the only time I’ve needed a truck is bringing something big home from home Depot, and for both U-Haul has charged me max $20 bucks for the day)

      For 99% of driving an EV is fine. The cold misnomer was true in the early days of EVs, but is pretty much solved now, but even then the 2-car household solves that again.

      For the other 1% of driving you can easily rent a vehicle that suits your needs. After all, we don’t all own moving vans just because we move occasionally.
