I probably enjoy driving way more than you do, and that's an understandable difference. But I do spend 90% of my free time where there are no charging stations, which is why I don't have an EV yet. I also never have to drive in traffic because of where I spend my free time and the fact that I live on the outskirts of town. So driving is pretty pleasant. Honestly, sometimes it's amazing. I've had a couple of great train experiences, but nothing that ever touched a great road trip in a car or on a motorcycle. I think another factor for me is time. I've never had more than a week off at once in my life, and I've been working for 40 years. When I do have a vacation, I want to get there quickly, enjoy the drive, enjoy the time there, and enjoy the drive back quickly with the music bumping the whole way. I sometimes fly but if it's under a 24 hr drive away I just drive it straight thru only stopping for fuel. It's amazing watching the landscape change so much in just one day.
