The electric vs ICE debate will rage on for years to come . . . after all, how do you generate electricity that you need to charge those batteries ??? How much $$$$ are you willing to pay per kwH to switch over to solar, or wind ???? . . .
I have and DO get in my car and drive for 12 hours to get through the mountains and to the west coast of Canada . . . one tank of fuel in my Journey can take me 850km (528miles) . . . yes, that is tough on the butt, however, I don't see electric vehicle that will do that today ! Not to mention it only takes about 8-10min to fill the tank and be ready for another 850km !!! . . . SLOW transition that does not take HUGE investment from government subsidies. . . . just saying !!! . . . battery technology is not there yet. Not to mention, what happens when it is MINUS 30 C up here in winter . . . lose lots of range just to the cold (gotta run that electric heater and blower motor off something . . . ) . . .
With all that said, YAY for lower gas prices for now !!! . . .
Sorry, rant off . . .
The interesting thing will be if people will want to pay
more to get their power from coal.

This is pretty neat site to play with longer routes and charging times/locations.
https://abetterrouteplanner.com/The longest trip we normally do is 275 miles to my parents. That site recommends a ~5 minute charge at the half way point.
