It may be impractical, but it's being asked a lot and not just by me. EV advocates, dealers and manufacturers should answer the question truthfully and hope it doesn't turn the potential convert away. If the answer is only a couple miles, then remind them how rare it will be, (since they can...

My only question was how many miles can one get in a quick 5 minute stop if needed while on the road (not to be confused with a road trip) just somewhere in town? There have been some good answers provided, but I don't think I've seen any that addressed the ramp-up time when plugging in. I...

I acknowledged the filling up at home multiple times. My question pertained to having to add some quick miles when not home.

Thank you @cvalue13 I don't disagree. But I'm not the only one asking it. Google the question or similar variables of it and you'll find lots of questions and answers but none from manufacturers. ICE drivers want to know the answer regardless of how nonsensical it maybe, but they are not...

@cvalue13 your post is solid, but why is so hard for someone or the EV community to try and make the comparisons? It's as if they just want all ICE drivers to believe EV are the best things ever but then never answer the questions directly posed. An ICE driver asks a question and EV community...

The comments about charging in 3 secs are snarky and so unrealistic I didn't know if I should take it as a joke or not. You have to unplug. How much range did you get in those 3 seconds?

On the road does not mean road trip. I'm just talking about commuting. And I never changed my story. I never said I have a 12 hr bladder either. You said something about me driving 500 mile's then 500 more without going to the bathroom. You said that, not me. All I ever said is that I fill...

Thank you. So the ramp time is irrelevant I was not all over the place. For some reason you made a bad assumption about road tripping even though I specifically said I fill up when I'm low on gas. I don't just fill up when I'm on a road trip. Please show me when I said I was talking...

Thank for all the criticism of how much I'll drive and when I'll charge and it's good to know that even though I caveated my comments with "it's not a big deal" and it's good to know that when I said "for some reason someday I'll have to charge up in town" will NEVER EVER come to be a reality...

35 x 12.5 tires on 17" rims. Truck is leveled but not lifted.

No I don't. I do none of those things. Gas and go. Got $#&! to do. Total time stopped was under 4 minutes. Time pumping was under 3. I operate this required/antiquated task like a pit stop. Moseying inside a gas station for snacks or a mid day bathroom break is a completely foreign concept...

I appreciate your take, but I missed where my instinct is off? At some point, for some reason, I will have to stop for charging just while running errands or taking clients around town. That doesn't mean I need snacks, or a bathroom break. Other then road trips I could not tell you the last...

It is impressive and a nice improvement, but 15 minutes of charging time for 200+ miles of range is still significantly less convenient then gassing up. I can put 510 miles of range into my truck in about 3 minutes. I timed it a couple weeks ago. I get it that most of the time EVs will be...

I'm not wearing extra clothes I don't already wear. Just thought the seatbelts made good sense to go with heated seats and steering wheel.

I'm going to print a sticker that says "If you ask me about my truck, we are going to talk about your real estate needs."

Most of those vest suck. My wife has 3 of them.

Suicide doors parked next to another vehicle even if far enough away that all doors can be fully opened while trying to unload a shopping cart is nearly impossible. If you've had to do it, you understand, if you haven't it's hard to explain. This issue is that you generally can't open the...

For some reason when quickly skimming I read that part I bolded as "Tesla thong". Now I feel like Telsa needs to market a thong...I mean the logo is pretty much already a S3XY thong. I'm sure someone more creative than I can come up with some good renderings.

Huh?...In 2019, Tesla gave us prices, ranges, no suicide doors, (all I suppose are arguably subject to change) and they opened up reservations. RAM did non of this. What are you talking about? Are you saying Tesla's reveal was worse than Ram's because we had that info and we're still waiting...

I'm willing to make minor life changes, like taking my jacket off, or maybe not wearing a jacket from my door to my car, to accommodate more range and apparently be safer.
