MODERATORS
Most people consider the climate something that other people should worry about while they can do their own thing.
I find EV owners greatly exaggerate the amount of maintenance and effort that a modern ICE vehicle needs compared to an EV.
Also, I do own an EV and I use it for local trips. For now, the minivan is bigger and that's what we are using for the road trips anyway. However, in the last road trip, I did look at the charging situation and I realized that, yes, I could have taken the EV but chargers were not near as convenient as gas stations are right now.
