Complicating factors to think about if you are gonna use an EV for long-distance (I mean LONG distances; iykyk) travel: *consider your tradeoffs- we didn't even look at like, a Leaf, because we parent two tall male teenagers who also seriously play instruments- our life just flat requires midsize SUV space to work. And we chose higher ground clearance and AWD because we live on a mountain in Vermont. One of the toughest things about The Discourse is the tendency of zealots and wonks to act like people make choices in a vacuum- and like the vacuum has its own inherent logic. You make choices IN CONSIDERATION OF YOUR OVERALL LIFE, but some of those are gonna suck for long distance EV driving because they hit where it hurts in terms of range *The US is not one thing. A single state is not one thing. The NY State Thruway is not one thing- it worked great and I highly recommend it except where it fucked me over utterly and I don't (DO. NOT. pass Buffalo westbound without a full charge)
