Recently flew to San Diego and toured north to Capistrano, Laguna Beach and then to Palm Springs, La Quinta and Salton Sea. Rented a car from Hertz with option for EV vs ICE. Chose ICE because not familiar with EV and did not want to have to plan for charging. As it was, there were no charging stations at the hotels we booked. Much of our touring was in rural areas in the desert and around the Salton Sea. Stopped for fuel twice before flying back from Palm Springs airport. Great trip. EV may have worked but didn't need to include the new learning experience.
Nearing 80 and owning two ICE vehicles (one with 30K miles) averaging 35 MPG on trips, I quite frankly don't see a need for a new car, but if I did buy, it would likely be a HYBrid, avoiding premium for EV models.
Only point is that the EV market is not attractive to me and I suspect others.
I'll let the Jetsons work on the EV learning experience.
