We have Children and grand Children all around from Georgia to Tennessee to South Carolina. No way an electric vehicle would work.

And this is why we need to make sure no one is allowed to buy gas vehicles ASAP. If NO ONE has the ability to travel more than 150 miles in the winter, than everyone will think this is normal, and those with EVs won't be pissed about their comparative lack of range (which has been a continuous sticking point that the climate-mongers refuse to acknowledge).

I drive 500 miles up to my parents (and another 500 back 4 days later) 4-6times a year. This is already a 10-11 hour trip for me, depending on road conditions and construction. Adding 3 one hour charging stops turns this into a two-day trip in each direction, and means I have to shell out for a hotel. Even if I re-charge for free, that hotel bill eats away any gas savings. And then cost me an extra $100 to boot.

On top of that, I drive 35 miles to work and 35 miles home daily. Many days, I drive up to 125 miles FOR work. There is nary a charger in sight in my office complex. And no external outlets, either. On a cold day, an EV leaves me stranded at work, with not enough charge to get home.

Which means an EV just is not feasible for me, at least not with current technology. So glad I live and work in red states that aren't trying to force this on us.

HOOYAH for Red States! I appreciate electricity, it's vital to many things, which includes plugging in my F-250 Heavy Duty Diesel pickup when the temps get below freezing.
Electricity has it's place in the fossil fuel world. :)
