Or use mass transit - if you can. If I'm not mistaken, in most European cities, and even in a lot of semi- rural areas, there's usually a train station within EV range. I don't know what the parking situation is at train stations, but assuming that's possible, you should be able to handle a lot of your long distance travel that way. I suppose you might consider going by train to be less convenient, because you may have to change trains. IMO that's offset by the fact that on the way you can relax, read, work, or sleep. You'll arrive refreshed instead of frazzled from traffic. To me that's worth a lot. Unfortunately, here in the US, we don't seem have mass transit that supports this scheme. We do have buses. I've tried to use them. Maybe it's better in big cities, but I ran into problems with the bus stations being too far away for EV range, and with parking at the bus stations.
