I agree with you JoeS whole heartedly. I'm 6 months into not driving an ICE at all. Except, I still get gas for my wife (she expects it (my own doing)). Basically the time spent is immaterial in my view. I've got no time to waste and don't waste it ever. Having done some DCQC now finally, there are plenty of odds and ends to take care of while the car charges. With todays connected world if someone isn't being productive while the car charges. I would say better planning is in order. It's a pleasure to not have to go to the gas station while I'm out. That stink always seems to follow you into the car and linger for a few miles or hours depending, yuck!

These BEV cars aren't meant for long trips so that isn't a fair comparison . . . period. A riding lawn mower isn't designed to take grocery shopping and I'm sure and ICE car is a far more enjoyable way to get that done

Time spent on anything has to include the quality of that time as well . . . BEV wins hands down!

[QUOTE="Aerowhatt, post: 25126, member: 1973"] I agree with you JoeS whole heartedly. I'm 6 months into not driving an ICE at all. Except, I still get gas for my wife (she expects it (my own doing)). Basically the time spent is immaterial in my view. I've got no time to waste and don't waste it ever. Having done some DCQC now finally, there are plenty of odds and ends to take care of while the car charges. With todays connected world if someone isn't being productive while the car charges. I would say better planning is in order. It's a pleasure to not have to go to the gas station while I'm out. That stink always seems to follow you into the car and linger for a few miles or hours depending, yuck! These BEV cars aren't meant for long trips so that isn't a fair comparison . . . period. A riding lawn mower isn't designed to take grocery shopping and I'm sure and ICE car is a far more enjoyable way to get that done :) Time spent on anything has to include the quality of that time as well . . .
