    If you have a garage at home, this is a moot point. 98% of driving is not long trips, and the vast majority of homes are 2 car households. It makes sense that one of them should be an EV

      I don’t drive my own vehicle to work, it’s only used on weekends and holidays, so closer to 50% of the driving I do is long trips.

      Installing the charging equipment is also a cost consideration.

        Why I said two car households are great for it. One of them can be gas. The other one can be EV. That’s what I do, we have the EV for the 98% of driving we do in the city, groceries, errands, commuting, whatever. Never buy any gas for that, charge it when we get home. Have the gas car for long trips. We have yet to come across a time of when that wouldn’t have worked in our family
