good point Roland. Living 11 miles from the closest gas station as I do, with most of them at least 25 miles away, there have been days where I did not have sufficient gas in my car to do a 40 mile trip (20 miles each way, the other direction from the gas station), and had to turn it into a 62 mile trip -- going the opposite direction to get gas, first, then doing the trip. An EV would have been able to charge at the house and ready to go in any direction from it.
As a side note, I'm seeing more and more leaf's up in the mountains, where people never used to take EV's (we're a 4,000 foot climb above Boulder). I've seen them up at campgrounds up in the mountains and in Rocky Mountain National Park and all kinds of places. Not just inside the metro area any more.
