[@Inigo_The_Son]

My wife and I are about to undertake a 2,500-mile roadtrip to move our daughter home from college. We have made this trip many times, and it will take 4 days, with one hotel night in each direction. If we had to rely on an EV, this same trip would take at least 6 days, and we would need at least 4 hotel nights, which adds another $500 to the trip. If you never leave your city, then an EV may work for you, but they are completely useless for long haul trips.

[@Inigo_The_Son]

@@markadler8968 My estimate considered all those factors vis-a-vis my own situation. Hotel $150/night and food at $100/day. I work on my laptop, so I never actually miss a day of work. My retired wife does most of the driving, while I am tapping away on the keyboard. However, I did overlook the cat sitter, which is another $25/day!😺 Last year we took a roadtrip to California. Somewhere in the middle of the desert, we stopped for 5 minutes to buy gas. My wife asked, "Is this a Tesla dealership?" The lot was full of Teslas, all waiting for a charging station to open up. It may only take 45 minutes to charge an EV, but that time starts when you plug in. What if you have to wait in line behind 5 other EVs? Interestingly, they did not queue up for a charger like the gas vehicles line up for a pump, so I am not sure how they even determine who goes next. There's probably an app for that:) In any event, it is easy to see how a charging stop could potentially take a few hours, and you cannot predict this in advance. Nowadays, hotel reservations are non-refundable. If you encounter lines at the charging stations, you may not make it to your destination today, thus forfeiting a hotel night. On a very long trip, that could also cause you to lose your next hotel night too! The potential problems are numerous.

[@HomesickforAlaska]

Don't forget that they chew through tires 3-4 times or more faster than the average ICE vehicle and the tires cost 3-4 times more than standard tires. From some of the figures I have seen a 2,500 mi road trip would also use about $150- $200 of rubber. 😮

[@TroySavary]

No, it won't. That is 625 miles a day. Most EVs will do that with either 1 or 2 charging stops. And if you pick a hotel with a charger, you will start withba full charge each day. The trip will be a few hours longer, not two days. Stick to topics you actually know something about.

[@TroySavary]

​@@HomesickforAlaskaMy sweet fuck you people are full of shit. You can put regular tires on an EV just fine. Most people do after the low rolling resistance OEM tires wear. The wear is maybe 20% faster, not three times and the cost of EV tires is only slightly more than a quality regular tire.

One anecdotal piece of evidence. My local supercharger is the only one in two hundred miles. I'm not exaggerating I looked it up. It is in a run down area of town that I wouldn't care to visit at night. It was obviously put there because the land was inexpensive. The regular chargers that I know of "near by" (about 100 miles) are not any better. This is one reason I don't think EVs can be an answer. If you live in this area and don't have charge at home capability or need to do long trips (which we all do. It is about 200-280 miles to somewhere else) an EV is just a disaster.

Emergency use is a prime one too. Personal story; a year or so ago early in the morning after a long night shift at work I woke to a ringing phone. It was my daughter saying my elderly mother had fallen and possibly has a broken arm. They live 300km away. My wife said “Just go, everything will be alright here.” I threw some stuff in a bag and jumped in my car. Hell. I forgot to fill it the night before when I got home and I had less than a quarter of a tank. However because I own a Mustang and not a Tesla, I just stopped off at the closest service station, filled up in five minutes, and less than three hours later I was pulling into my daughters driveway. Thankfully my mother was ok with just a cracked bone, but at 98 you don’t take chances. If I’d have owned a Tesla and forgot that I had to “adopt a new driving discipline” and religiously plug it in at every opportunity, I’d have had to wait until the next day probably.

I drove into town the other day for a hospital appointment - so I went early to make sure I got there. As I drove into the city the traffic was moving normally, then it suddenly stopped. No movement at all, though cars were coming in the other direction. After sitting there for a few minutes stationary my sat-nav map changed and the road flashed red showing stationary traffic. Nearby roads were also jammed. Then I heard sirens and people moved their cars aside to let a Police car past. Eventually, traffic started to move - five cars, then stop again for five minutes, though traffic was still flowing reasonably well in the opposite direction. Sat-nav showed there was no point turning off as the city in this area was now completely blocked except for the road out. When I finally got to the hold-up it was a single electric car sitting in the middle of the road. The hazard warning lights were not flashing. The AA were there, the Police were there, the owner/driver was there. The Police were stopping oncoming traffic and letting a few cars past by stopping oncoming traffic and letting a few of us through. I wound my window down when I got near to it and was stopped by the Police patrol officer. The AA man was explaining to the owner of the electric car (bog-standard model from a major manufacturer, not Tesla), that he could not move the vehicle because it was completely beyond his ability to repair and there was no power at all, he could not tow it with the vehicle he had and it would need lifted onto a truck with a crane, or towed onto a car transporter with a more powerful winch. I went hospital, had my appointment late (the specialist consultant agreed to see me in the circumstances), and after treatment, I was able to leave. On the way home, traffic was moving intermittently. When I got to the electric vehicle they had bought a big recovery vehicle usually used for lorries truck to remove it,. but it was still blocking the road. Half of the city was gridlocked. My better half would have a nervous breakdown if that happened to her - she's be mortified and so embarrassed. That's why we have a turbo petrol car. Three minutes to fill the tank, over 400 miles range, and half the price of that broken-down piece of electric car junk. Imagine if it had broken down on the motorway - the electrics had failed - not even any hazard warming lights.

I wait until it shows empty with no range left. That means it has around 5l of fuel left in the tank, allowing for a range of 100km if driven economically. That's almost halfway through Switzerland.

[@jackoneil3933]

Essential considerations! Twice in the last 4 years, once due to a severe Ice storm and sub-zero temperatures that knocked out power for two weeks, I sheltered in my vehicle for about two weeks. For most of the time no fueling stations were unavailable but I had a full tank of fuel and was able to keep warm, sleep in the vehicle and use the vehicle's 12V system to power an AC inverter to keep the home fridge and essential necessities powered. Before that, during more than year of civil unrest and riots on the U.S., fires that were seemingly deliberately set caused my area to be evacuated due to fire threat and deadly smoke. Power lines were burned-out power lines, and so wide-spread were the fires and viral Lock-downs that no hotels were available on the entire west coast. I was however was able to drive to the coast with power and survivable air and sheltered in that same vehicle for 5 days. During lock-downs, a friend with an EV on the East coast had to rely on his diesel work truck when charging stations were shutdown for 500 miles. The charging network said it did so without warning for 'upgrades' but many believed it to be politically motivated attack or government experiment, or lock-down measure. 'Electrify America Shuts Down 500-Mile Charging Corridor '- InsideEVs Sep 8, 2020 It's one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, and many EV owners were left stranded. Electrify America had shut down every charging station in a 500mi corridor from the middle of Virginia to southern South Carolina... ' As the world enters growing times of civil, political and global unrest options and resources become more important not just for convenience but possibly survival. Personally, rather than spend $100,000 on an electric SUV, I prefer to spend much less than that on a reliable petrol vehicle and generator and a robust off-grid home solar system and now that ev prices are collapsing, an efficient electric vehicle I could charge off a solar or power grid when available and use that vehicle's battery as energy storage or survival trips if fuel becomes unavailable.

My vehicle was also my emergency shelter during the energy crisis 2022/23. Fortunately, nothing happened. But it could provide heat, cooling and electricity to power my laptop and cellphone. I also put water and food in it. With a BEV, I would have needed another contingency plan.

[@jackoneil3933]

@@svr5423 Being without power and fuel seems to be an increasing risk, and even for long term. I never gave into the prepper craze but after those experiences I got a portable 80's 650w Honda Generator with no electronics a 3.2kwh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFE) storage battery bank to to run a used 2500W 12V solar inverter/charger, plus a and a 30amp (450w) 12V charger to charge the battery bank from the 600W generator. I can also charge the LFE battery bank from the 12V system in the car if needed. That battery bank can keep a home-sized fridge-freezer cold for about a week, and has plenty of power to run a microwave or Instant Pot to cook dried foods like rice and lentils. If I wasn't hoping to leave the U.S. Id look for some used solar panels you can find for cheap to store in the garage if needed. I've also got a couple of gasoline camping lamps and gasoline camp stove and a couple of gallons of camping fuel I can run in the stoves or generator.
