El Dobro,
Yes they are, and I am glad that are. But look at the map and notice, NH, VT, upstate NY. All places we need to do long distance traveling and they left it out. Each time I camplained about infrastructure this is why... heh
They've made them on the more popular routes like cell phone carriers, which is fine and understandable, but that map obviously needs to become more like a huge swiss cheese pattern, so its' a DC fast charger atleast every 40 - 50 miles over the whole country....
In Other news --- We got Carvana to buyout our 2019 E-Golf SEL lease, since we are literally going basically nowhere, its' not worth the extra cost to us at all. Now we just have her 2011 WRX Hatchback manual Gas burner, and my 2015 Audi Q5 TDI.
Pre-Covid -- She was driving 250 miles / week on work commuting, and another 100 or so for whatever else, and I was driving like 100 miles. SO 450miles / week, plus some long trips so 30,400 miles a year split over 3 vehicles, most of the commuting went on the ( 10,400 ) golf. Because of job changes and etc... working from home etc... our driving post-Covid will be around 200 miles a week split between two vehicles, and mine will be used for some longer trips. So less driving overall around 15,400 per year. Her WRX is paid off, and she's never getting rid of it.
So we've reduced our diesel / gas miles by around 5k / year, and completely elimated our electric miles. So huge emissions savings overall even though we are eliminating the electric vehicle.
