Love this thread! Thanks for posting! Having had a few performance cars most of them only made it ~230 miles before needing to refuel. I was going to the gas station all of the time! Switching to an EV 3 years ago I realize that range anxiety is something journalists like to write click bait about
I did a thread last week on 24 hours with Solan Panels. bsky.app/profile/zx23...
I’ve an MX-5 that does 300 miles comfortably. And when I take it easy I can push it to 350. The gauge drops faster for the second “half” than the first. I love cars. I love ICE engines. But the pretence that Range Anxiety is an EV problem is total crap.
There was something to it with really early EVs that were little more than proof of concept. Range is a solved problem now. The issue now is cost and resale value.
The good thing is that bad resale value means cheap used EVs. And on balance I’m fine with people who buy new losing their shirt, even if I was one.
