    Dude you’ve got the numbers completely wrong. I drive a “modern ev with a 250mile range” and in reality I will stop after 2-3 hours when doing long trips in the winter.

    Manufacturer stated EV range is a joke. 5-6 hours of driving at best with one stop, not 8-10 lol.

        Could you not just rent a car for those 2-3 times a year you need an ICE? Seems like it’d still be cheaper. Especially with free charging at work.

          What if you just got like 6 large dogs, and instead of keeping them in the car, you kept them on the outside attached to the car. If the dogs need to walk, why not just walk the car? Then you don’t need electricity or gas.

        swap it instead of charging

        Fun fact: it appears that was part of Tesla’s plan too, originally – an automated swap bay that would swap your battery as easily as an american-style pull-through car wash.

        You sound like someone which understands the problem. Also I would argue driving is still significantly less emitting than the commercial jet so please remember that when you do the trip next time. ICE car is the correct mode of transport for 1000km trip with a dog, the good boy is probably happier too
