I used to drive my daughter from the bay area to San Diego and back with my pickup ( with her school stuff ). 500 miles.

Now, she lives "only" 180 miles away.

I am still using a gas buggy. Chargers are new to the area (in the woods). And only Tesla. But I still get 50% better mileage than the 20 year old Tacoma did. Both 4 cylinder engines.

Two people I know went hybrid from gas.
