Look, I’m not saying a first Gen leaf would not meet 95% of my needs and I’m not saying that I would not buy one if you could just convince my partner but I doubt the majority of Americans travel less than five miles for car trips.
It’s disingenuous to say “EV batteries actually hold up fine!” and then follow it up with “Well, you don’t drive that much anyway,” when presented with evidence otherwise. I know you’re not the OP of the other comment, but c’mon, this is a linear chain of thought.
Tbh I don’t even drive, growing up I couldn’t afford it. I don’t even know anyone who drives more than 16km a day which is the same distance I cycle to work - I do know a couple who drive the same distance I cycle, I get there faster as I can go faster than traffic jams.
Its probably somewhat location dependent, that stat is from the UK.
