I’d love an electric car if I wasn’t living in a third world country.

I don’t have a way to charge them in my condo and the infrastructure outside of the main city here is almost 0 if not actually 0.

I was close to considering one until my wife and I took a trip about 5 hrs outside of the city and I realized that there would have been no way to drive there and back in the electric car.

I guess it would be possible, but I’d have to do a bunch of planning and calling around to secure a place to charge and it might not even be possible if the hotel or destination will not allow it.

    That is why I have a PHEV. I have a place to charge at home (unlike you), and on longer trips gas is still everywhere.

    I use my ebike to get to work, but most places in the city are not a reasonable time via ebike so I have a truck that I use once/month when my wife is using the car (some of those trips need a truck).
