Thank you for admitting you got the math wrong. One more: you said $80 to fill your 630mi tank. That works out to around $0.12 per mile as I stated somewhere here. So if I wasn't charging for free, I'd still be spending 1/4 what you do. I can't go 600 miles but I don't need to. I need to commute and get groceries and drive the kids around. I do all of that for basically no fuel cost. And sorry for getting short. The brainless attacks on EV owners here just pisses me off.
I am excited to see fuel cell tech take off, and I agree it is a better and more flexible future than battery EVs, but the tech is probably a decade away from being as cheap and efficient as ICE. We might see fuel cell + battery hybrids sooner than that, perhaps.
I live in the city. For my lifestyle, BEV is a perfect fit.
Ah I see. Yes. For city, EV will RKA best. For the mountain farmers, we need gas lol. I wish they made it so when the wheels are turning and you were driving, the battery keeps charging. They can even infuse solar cells on the roof of the car so it continues charging as you’re driving throughout the day or parked.
My car has several levels of regenerative braking, and if I drive conservatively I can get up to 4 miles per kwh, like $0.02 per mile. But it mostly balances out the cost of going up and down hills or stop-and-go driving.
Solar could help but the surface area would only be able to produce enough power to trickle charge.

No worries. I have a charger put in y home when I built it. My guests who have electric cars can charge at my place for free when they book a room.
I’ve been looking into EV but other than Tesla, the mileage range isn’t what I need. I need something to go 500 miles or more per charge.
I own a farm so the truck is needed, plus I have a 50 mile commute each way for work.
I was looking into hydrogen fuel cells but that’s just as expensive as gas.
