Well, the cool thing in the modern age is that there are far mare charging places now than there ever have been, so FAR less concern about being stranded.

I never have an issue finding chargers, even on cross country road trips. There are still a handful of extremely low population, isolated places in the US that don’t have enough chargers, but it’s not an issue today in the overwhelming majority of the country. A little bit of research (including the free EV route planning site A Better Route Planner) will tell you what’s going on with Level 3 (fastest) chargers on the routes you drive.

And also, road trips are the only place I’m ever waiting on my car to charge anyway. And it’s 20 minutes every 250 miles or so. Not a big deal, I had to use the restroom by then and grab a drink or a snack regardless.

99% of the time I’m charging my car, I’m not waiting on it. I have a cheap slow charger at work that can fill my entire battery (again, approx 250 miles of driving range) for about 6 bucks, while I’m busy in the office anyway. The once a week I need to charge, I plug it in when I get there, work my day, unplug it, and drive home. Other people with houses tend to just charge their cars on cheap night-rate power there overnight.

So I definitely encourage you to look into it! If fuel costs get to be too much, a cheaper used EV can definitely be an escape hatch for probably 90%+ of people.

Come on over to the EV side, my friend. We don’t bite. And you won’t have to sell plasma or a kidney or anything to be able to fuel your car.

I think most people don’t understand how insanely, mind-mindbogglingly large 52! is.

I’ve received disbelieving replies before after saying that every freshly full-shuffled deck, where that shuffling started from a shuffled state (not new deck order), is in a unique card order never before used by humanity since the invention of the four suit and 52 card deck. But that statement is absolutely true. The chances of it being false are so microscopically tiny that they are, for all intents and purposes, zero.

That is fantastic! You should use this as your avatar.
