A BEV fits into my lifestyle. So much so that I think owning an ICE vehicle would decrease my quality of life. I don't want to go to a gas station every week. I don't want to have to take my car in for tune-ups every year.
But... you'd rather charge every time you use it? And what if you run out of energy in the middle of a trip?
>I don't want to have to take my car in for tune-ups every year.
What makes you think that electric cars don't need tune-ups?
This is no work. You carefully mount the charger so that it‘s right between your car door and the charge port. When you exit the car it‘s a single movement on the way out of the garage.
As for range, you don‘t run out in the middle of a trip. The car finds a supercharger if it‘s really one of those longer trips.
Anyway, the vast majority of the time, my car charges every single night and I have 80% or 90% battery in the morning.
I never said they don't need tune ups. But in my three years of ownership, all I've had to change were air filters and top up windshield fluid. The brakes are never used. The tires get rotated in my driveway by mobile service. Screw going to the local car mechanic or dealership every year.
So I'll pose the question to you. Maybe the answers lead you to sticking with ICE vehicles, and that's fine. But do you want to go to the gas station every time you run out of "energy"? Do you really want to change the oil, brake pads, fluids, etc.?
I don’t need to change oil, or spark plugs or engine air filter. Stuff will need to get changed, but maintenance is much reduced.
