I wanted to get an EV when I bought my last car, but I was planning to retire and do a a bunch of road trips. Yes, you can do cross country in an EV, but it’s harder in a lot of places and my friends have told me horror stories of getting to to charging stations and finding them broken, getting stranded.

My hybrid get 50 mpg highway, 43 city. That’s not as efficient as an EV, but it’s not terrible for a midsize sedan.
