&quot;Why would you want a vehicle that sits idle 90% of the day?&quot;<p>I don&#x27;t, but I do want access to a cheap to operate vehicle that I can load my kayaks on top of and my camping gear inside of and then go drive to a river as far away from everyone else as I can get (9 hour drives are not uncommon). This is why an electric car will not meet my needs for the forseeable future. &lt;30 min charging stations need to be as common as gas stations for me to even think about it.
