    Is that really more annoying than all the repair work and climate guilt that comes with an ICE vehicle? Is that 5 minutes more valuable than all the time you spend working to make money to spend on gas and repairs?

      Most people consider the climate something that other people should worry about while they can do their own thing.

      I find EV owners greatly exaggerate the amount of maintenance and effort that a modern ICE vehicle needs compared to an EV.

      Also, I do own an EV and I use it for local trips. For now, the minivan is bigger and that’s what we are using for the road trips anyway. However, in the last road trip, I did look at the charging situation and I realized that, yes, I could have taken the EV but chargers were not near as convenient as gas stations are right now.
