    Averages are useless. It does not matter if my car is fine most of the time

    so what, you would want to triple your battery capacity because once a year you might need it?

    why not just a rent car for that one occasion?

      Where did once a year come from? I can’t reach any of my family without stopping to charge most (currently affordable) EVs. We only bought a car because it was getting more expensive to rent them when needed (and train prices have doubled), we’re not going to pay twice over.

        so that’s what 150+ 200+ km? (and that’s being generously low given something like Hyundai Ioniq 5s range)

        is it unfathomable for you to take a 15 minute break during a trip like that?

          Where are you getting 15 minutes from? Why do you keep inventing scenarios to make your point?

                  This guy: “You’re expecting people to drop 50k on a car.”

                  me: screaming in the land of 80k V12 F-150s driven by city commuters

                  (I seriously live in a dense neighborhood in the city in CA aka US liberal HQ and people here regularly buy high five to low six figure trucks they can’t fit in their condo garage…)

      Have you rented a car for a week? It’s prohibitedly expensive for most people, especially if it needs to be big enough for the family and a week vacation. I’m considering getting an EV, but it’s only because we’ll have my wife’s gas powered SUV to use for our longer trips, which are 1-4 times a year. That not an unusual need, and one that make exclusive EVs a no-go for a lot of people. Hybrids are an option of course.
