Most EVs hold a charge for over 400 miles, that’s the same as a tank of gas now. For the vast, vast majority of Americans that will do for most of their driving habits. Most Americans commute to work and run errands around their house, even on busy days most Americans won’t come close to 200 miles in a single day. Charging every night at home then makes it very reasonable.

For myself, we’re a 2 car house, one EV and one gas, and gas is only used now for those (very rare) long journeys. Even those though are so rare that honestly renting a car is a valid alternative (while we’re building the charging infrastructure).

The only real excuses right now are if you

  1. regularly drive over 400 miles in one trip, so for most people that’s across their entire state, and plan on not being able to charge at all in the middle (which, if you’re on the interstates now is pretty much a non-issue, and remember you can always rent a car if you’re going on a super long road trip too if you’re really worried about it. Even in the Midwest that was maybe once or twice a year that I went on road trips long)
  2. Rent or live where you can’t install an EV charger in your home. This is a valid one, and I hope we start pushing for chargers in rental properties.
