That means she dare not venture more than. 100 miles from home....
My SUV is good for 600 miles plus per fill up....and, there will be a gas station at the end of that stretch that allows me to be back on the road in 10 minutes.
So she is actually happy with it?
As far as charging on the road, it depends. If my wife is with me then the EV is conducive because she wants to stop every 200 miles or so anyway to stretch her legs for 10-15 minutes -- which is how long it takes the EV to charge at most fast chargers. (At home, who cares if it takes 4 hours to charge since I'm sleeping anyway?) But if my wife is not with me, which means me stopping ever 350-400 miles, then I drive the ICE pickup. Plus we take the ICE pickup on trips that have few chargers or require a pickup for pickup chores.
Basically, if I wasn't married and every now and then needed two cars anyway, I wouldn't have gotten an EV. But since I need two cars anyway, by having one of them an EV and one an ICE we have two cars to choose from for whatever the day's needs are. And even with that, I still probably wouldn't have gotten an EV if I wasn't also trying to be mostly energy independent with our home. Solar provides 80% of the power we need for our home, including charging our EV. Thus, when the Dims' stupid energy policies raise energy prices, it harms us only 20% financially with our home costs and our local driving.
Since this article is about Rivian, an EV pickup, I have real problems seeing that work well. Loading down a pickup with cargo in the back or towing (you know, using it for the reasons you bought the pickup to begin with) drastically reduces the range. Even though an EV car works well for us (as long as we have an ICE car too for the times an EV won't cut it), I can't imagine being happy with an EV pickup.
