Maybe in Los Angeles not around here if so a rarity. More likely to wait on a gas line especially with all the volatility around oil shortages lately and Biden shutting down US drilling. Besides if you own a EV you must have a home charger. So how often do you drive 2-300 miles a day? Not very often so plug in at night full charge in the morning. Cost about $5 for a full charge. A lot cheaper that $50 at the pump Long distance travel you stop every 3-4 hours for 15 min . If I’m in a car for 3-4 hours I will probably stop to use the bathroom and get a snack anyway.Many think it’s worth it to drive a great car ( insanely fast too) but not all especially around here.
