The rest of the year driving around town the EV experience is SO much better than ICE that I think it's a fair trade-off.

But I understand where you're coming from.

There's no doubt that EV charging takes longer than filling up a gas tank. And Electrify America can be very annoying, especially on the road. But there two additional factors for prospective EV buyers to consider:

1. If you typically visit the restroom and get coffee and/or a snack when you stop, the time difference is reduced.

2. As long as you can charge your EV at home or work, you will NEVER have to visit a gas station. This saves a large amount of time every year.

Fair enough and I think it gives those considering EV an idea of the trade offs. It will work for some but not everyone.

I was told 1000 when I got my IX which is really not much at all if you’re using it frequently. Quite a big reduction from a 2yr unlimited, again, if you’re actually using it again. I home charge so doesn’t impact me.
