If I was taking an emergency long trip… I’d probably buy a plane ticket?

I’ve only had my EV about 2 months; but for all the driving I’ve done (even thinking back over the past few years) it’s more than sufficient. With 2 kids and a house; long trips in the car are pretty rare. And the ones I’ve taken we need 30+ min stops every 2-3 hours anyway: for food, bathrooms, and just keeping the kids happy.

Shout out to Buccee’s for putting in a ton of chargers! They realized people will spend money inside if they have to stop for 20-30 min anyway. The gas customers are stopped that long and spending that money as well anyway it seems!

I’m super happy with it and kind of wish I bought one sooner (but, part of what made me buy now was a great deal on a used one). No regrets!

Good read. I’ve not heard of this site before, so now I’ll check out some of their older stuff! Looks like a few years of content history to browse 🙂.

Thanks for sharing!

Price is rarely 1% for 1%. Some things people will still use in similar quantities even if there are high price increases (e.g. life saving medication). Others people will stop using even if there are small price changes.
