I own an Ioniq 6, when I bought the car, I was totally aware of the problems I would be facing with an EV.
Distance, the time it takes to recharge the battery and the availability of charging stations. I was totally aware how quickly the car accelerates, that's all they would talk about on YouTube when you looked up EVs.
One day I realized one of the benefits when I drove by a gas station that I frequented all the time and had not stopped in since I own the car.
I'm going to be driving up to N.Y. at the end of the month and since I'm retired, I have plenty of time and I'm going to make it a 3 day trip.
You see I look at a car as a tool, and I purchased the car that met my needs.
If you buy a car because you like the look, or it is in fashion you're making a terrible mistake.
