Electric Vehicle Snobbery

You can plug in when you get home for an overnight charge. EV is not appropriate for city dwellers with on-street parking. Also, not appropriate for those wide-open spaces where a trip to the rodeo might be 500 miles. Replacing the battery is as common as it is in your phone. Not often. These are all regrets you should be able to work out before you buy. And another gas car is a good idea. What household doesn't have two cars these days? What is the longest roundtrip your household took in the past year?
