When you get lucky enough and you don’t have 3 people in front of you wanting to charge, sure. We go on 600-800 km trips which is quite exhausting and don't plan to spend additional hours at chargers
Not sure what your location is, but have not had 1 single time where I had to wait at a charger. 9 out of 10 times we are alone at a charging spot of on average 8 available spots.
Again, EV in EU is a non-issue. I often had to wait longer at gas stops in the past.
Sounds like a PHEV would solve this.
No, phev is literally the worst. You have to charge it and fill it with gasoline, as well. As a result, it’s heavier and more complex.
Hybrids are fine, though I still prefer regular gasoline.
I'd be much more likely to buy a hybrid or phev than pure electric. My ideal thing would be something like the Edison Truck (though just a regular pickup, not a semi) where it's diesel electric.
A full size pickup truck with like a 40-60hp diesel generator/range extender on board would be awesome. Or a midsize with like a 30hp.
