I need a car that I can refuel in 45 seconds flat in the middle of nowhere, sorry.

My EV friends brag about some hypothetical "0-60" scenario that would look cool on YouTube, but is illegal on public roads. Meanwhile, on road trips, they lag behind 4-6 hours because they can't find a "supercharger". By the time they finally hobble in on 1% battery, late in the evening and mentally drained from "range anxiety", I've already checked into the hotel, explored the whole town, and had dinner. Then it's storytime about how lucky they feel that they made it at all. By then, I'm usually already asleep. You can guess what happens the next morning. They can't get going until late afternoon, because the hotel only had a trickle charger that got turned off overnight, and some other EV guy was hogging the spot until 10am. After all that, my EV friends just borrow the wife's gasoline minivan for the next trip. I can't blame them.

But hey, if you're just getting groceries in town, then EV is awesome. I once saw a Tesla beat a Lamborghini by 0.3 seconds out of the Whole Foods parking lot. I don't think anyone really noticed though. They were all checking out the Lambo.
