Comment on But how would they be able to live on that?
Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 5 months agoFor short commuting around town electric cars are perfect for that role. While the tech is still maturing and getting better, you still need an ICE car as your main, at least where I live.

Seriously doubt that, honestly, unless you’re VERY rural and/or cannot charge at home
I drive 45 miles each way for commute to work in a 2018 EV that has half the range a modern one does.
I make it home with plenty of charge to still get around town for groceries or what have you, and if I go more than 130-150 miles in a day I can stop at a quick charger for 10/15 minutes and have ~50 miles more range to play with

I live in the Kootenays Canada. We don’t have charging stations in most of the villages. The very cold winters wreck havok on these machines even without blasting the heater.
