The last time I bought a car, this was the reason why I picked gas - I figured either the infrastructure for roadtripping would be there by then, or we'd have better range.
Since then, I stopped doing as many roadtrips. Tesla also decided to open up its charger network and everyone is switching to NACS, so the infrastructure is way better. I'd say I'm ready for EVs now, except the car industry decided that electric vehicles inherently have to come with lots of anti-repair bullshit. The same kind that I already find disgusting in consumer electronics. So long as gas equals I own it and electric means I'm renting it, I'm not """buying""" an EV, even though they're otherwise great.
