False Quote Federal Highway Administration data from 2019 indicates motorists in the U.S. drive an average of 39 miles per day. Enjoy your ignorance JT. May you continue to act informed on topics you are clueless about to give the rest of us a good laugh at your expense.
April 4, 20224 yr Author 1 hour ago, paco said: Depends on the charger. On the road you'll likely hit a level 3 charger, which has a rate of 3 to 20 miles per minute. The charge rate depends on how empty your battery is, the lower the charge, the faster the charge rate. So in theory you can add 100 miles in 5-6 minutes 100 miles is nothing on a road trip. You may have to drive out of your way to get to the charger. Yes the whole 10 percent to 80 percent in as low as 45 minutes!!! You’re also suggested to not fully charge the vehicle because charging to 100 percent can damage/lessen the capacity of the battery.

Average motorist is everyone who drives. I'm in that equation. I drive like 20 miles every 2 days lol. My wife drives less than that. I worked in a factory at a blue collar job, with several hundred other people. Some live close. A lot drove 40 to 50 miles. Quite a few had two jobs. Like I said, out of touch. And that's good for you.
April 4, 20224 yr 19 minutes ago, Boogyman said: Yeah, any trip that approaches 500 miles one way, I'm not driving. We honestly did it mainly because (i) her parents really wanted us to bring our dog and (ii) the dog REALLY loved her dad because he just gave him non-stop steak.

But that wasn't good enough apparently. Now, I don't think he would be a serviceable backup. And certainly not one worth the media circus IMO

No arguments here. Big reason we are keeping our Explorer for the near future. Give the size (for all the baby s***) and gas tank, it's our long distance car.

So I guess we are now debating if it works for a poor who also drives 50 miles uphill both ways to work
April 4, 20224 yr You all are talking about EV's and I'm over here like, how can I make this my daily?

People that don't drive to work but drive are still "motorists"

For a trip like that, where I am taking the dog/s we just take the RV. all the comforts of home.

I can see doing that very occasionally. The dogs definitely matter. I personally hate sitting for long periods of time, and don't really enjoy driving either. My wife loves to drive.

We can just disagree, and you can still buy the car you want. I will stand by what I said. For the average person, the tech for EVs is not quite there yet. That's my belief. By all means keep trying to change my minds and I will keep replying with jokes about Joe who just wants to get home and see his family after workong 12 hours, but has to stop for a coffee first in order to make it there.

It's your belief, but you have yet to make one solid point to support it. You only make these broad declarations and hypothetical examples that are way to easy to poke holes through. Example: Joe who works 12 hours and wants to see has family isn't going to stop for coffee to charge it. Its going to get his butt home and plug it in and even with a trickle charge has enough to get to and from work each day. Or you said people who only drive a little won't reap savings because they don't use much gas. But you leave out maintenance savings. 1 minute ago, Boogyman said: Oh lastly, the poors keep their cars for longer than above average income people. And?
