minus-squareblazera@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down3·10 months agoYeah so do people with EVs. And people without cars in places sane enough to have public transit.
minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·10 months agoYeah, EVs that have decent enough range for a road trip, and good luck catching a bus to a remote campsite with all your gear. You can easily cut the range of an EV in half by towing etc, a vehicle like this will still have decent range even when towing.

minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·10 months agoA few trips a year, typically. This can be a few hundred KM one way though. And if I’m buying a brand new vehicle, I’d expect it to be able to do something my existing vehicle does.
