The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Bearing in mind that your situation is atypical if you do actually drive more than 100km in a day regularly--

Quite atypical unfortunately. We are currently averaging 108km per day on the BEV we purchased in January. And likely going higher now that return to office is in effect unfortunately. With 'privilege' comes sacrifice sometimes.


I actually agree with the math when it comes to hybrids. I just find the products on offer not all that inspiring. Few are PHEV and the ones that are capable of being plugged in only offer about 30 miles of all electric range at best. And the government incentives are not aligned to support them. At least we live in a location where over 50% of our electricity comes from very cheap nuclear and renewables. Keeps my electricity cost under $0.12/KWh and helps me sleep better at night.

Good luck on the Fiat conversion. Some pretty cool EV crate solutions recently at the SEMA shows. I would love to do an EV resto mod on a classic someday.
