    I’ve been looking at the specs of evs and chargers around me and also taking into account their prices you have to be a bit motivated to buy one.

      An EV would do well for me to commute to work. But I’m not interested in the hassle of road tripping with one, so I’d still need a good ICE vehicle for that. My garage isn’t big enough unless I replace my 1995 F-150.

        I currently have a 130 mile range EV and my partner has an ICE vehicle. Long term we want both to be EV, but we’re waiting due to road trips.

        There are also plug in hybrid cars however your selection is more limited with those. They typically have a battery but a smaller one but the big part is they also run on gas. We own one (Prius Prime) and it can last about 30 miles on battery which is perfect for daily commute and errands like groceries. On road trips we just use gas.

        A 90s f150 will outlast all the EVs, keep that for sure. Some day might even be worth good money like 70s trucks are now.
