Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

Insert countercomment about living 200 miles from the nearest town and needing a car with 500mi range in winter
Exactly. It's why I can't really go full ev. Well, that and the bullshit privacy invasion of all new cars.
I could get by with one in town, but it would not work long term because there's just too many hours long drives I have to make on a regular basis, and pretty regular trips into other states far enough away that until the infrastructure is way better, there's just nowhere to charge yet.
And the non-interoperable app bullshit with chargers. ChargePoint, Blink, EVgo, whatever else requires me to make an account, deposit some minimum amount of money (that just sits there afterwards), and only then charge, if the app or the charger works. (E.g: ChargePoint had chargers that can be used with their RFID card but not through the app)
Let me swipe my credit card. It's what it's for.
You still can't really do a road trip without stopping for 30 minutes every two hours, and being extremely aware of where the next plug is.
Unfortunately, gasoline is much more energy dense than even the best ev batteries.
