Well “new” for me. I bought a used 2016 Chevy that used to be a fleet vehicle. Got it for like $8000 and it gets 33mpg which I love.
I did seriously consider getting an electric, but since I need a car for long term road trips? I don’t think an electric would be good right now.
Lke if I need to drive from Idaho to Wisconsin, how would I do that with an electric?
Some do. Some rely on the ubiquity of gas stations. And the truth is that charging stations aren’t frequent enough everywhere to handle long trips in rural areas. There’s cities where you have to hunt one down.
That being said, it is getting easier to find them all the time. People want evs, the money is there, so infrastructure will follow. It’s still at the point where an ev isn’t realistic for everyone, everywhere, but it shouldn’t be long before nobody has to plan for charging expect for places where they’d also have to plan heavily for gas.
That’s me, I rely on the ubiquity of gas stations lol. If charging stations were more prevelent in rural areas or there was some way for me to do it, I would. But the honest to god truth is there would be no good way for me to do it.
