    Any reason why? I’m more than willing to buy an ev if it is reliable. Though I would prefer if it was just like a standard car but with an electric motor in it vs a smart car.

      Because once or twice a year I take a road trip and the last thing I want to do is to drive for 3 or 4 hours and then stop for 45 minutes to recharge.

      It’s actually something that is important to me. And I know there’s an argument for getting a rental internal combustion engine vehicle for my road trips but that’s an extra expense and extra mental overhead I don’t want to deal with.

      I could be persuaded to purchase an electric car if it was reasonable, with a reliable 200 and some odd miles plus between charges and it was very cheap, but I would be talking 12 to $15,000 with those limitations.
