I have a 200 mile range EV, which is to say a practical range of 120-160. It's great for running around the bay area. It's not so great for the monthly travel I do going 500-2000 miles in a stretch because stopping every 120-160 miles for anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours is mind-numbing, and that doesn't even account for the mercurial state of the national charging network. It's also not so great in places less friendly to EVs. I'm upgrading to a 400 mile range EV down the road and I hope the charging network upgrades itself as well because it still sucks.

You should have access to the supercharger network by then. It is amazing compared to the patchwork mess that is everything else.

I'll believe it when I see it. I lost a great deal of faith in EVs when the local dealer refused to service mine because I didn't buy it from them. On the bright side, Ford gave me a 5-year extended warranty to make up for their behavior, but WTF?

Car rental...

[oblio]

If the car:

1. Is available.

2. If the car rental company doesn't pull shenanigans such as cancelling your rental at the last moment due to <reasons>.

3. Is the kind of model you want or need.

4. Has the extras you like/need (adaptive cruise control, etc).

Etc.

In my experience car rentals suck, I wouldn't want to use them except for when I'm flying somewhere.
