My dad lives in Colorado and I'm pitching him on getting an EV. But he does a lot of road-tripping and correctly points out EVs are not as convenient as gas-powered cars on road trips. So far, in 2025. He agrees that that will change, but maybe not in the expected 5-year lifespan of his next car.
We'll resolve this based on my dad's and other similar road-trippers' opinions. I'll be very transparent about my thinking in the comments.
Note my personal bias: I want EVs to win and am betting in this market. But, again, I'm committed to making the resolution fair. Hopefully this will not be a tricky judgment call but if it is, I won't make it unilaterally. Ask clarifying questions in the comments!
