Downsides: Have to go to a gas station to find a squeegee to clean the windows.
Upsides: You have no other reason to go to a gas station.
Sometimes you need to check your tire pressure, too.
The general reduction in scheduled maintenance requirements is really wonderful.
My EV has onboard pressure monitoring. And came with a little electric tire pump.
Too bad if you buy one with a long enough range to completely replace the need to also own an ice vehicle you weigh so much that you have to buy more expensive tires and still need to replace those more often.
I bought my very own gas station squeegee at a car parts store . Life-changing events.
I better get mine, soon.
What about for gas station sushi?
Good name for a band.
Heh. Now that's a party.
And then, a porcelain party.
Recharge the car when you're away from home?
Most large gas stations I've been to have chargers now.
Good to know. I do more road trips now that I'm not driving an ICE car. Plugshare does list those stations. I have a certain antipathy for 'petrol' companies. Something to do with the demise of the human species, to which I'm reasonably concerned about.
The lithium mined for your EV's batteries is just as bad if not worse for the environment. Maybe do some research before acting all high and mighty.
Producing an EV battery can generate around 2.5 to 16 metric tons of CO2. 1 Manufacturing a gasoline car produces about 6 tons of CO2 and over its lifetime, an ICE vehicle emits around 35.9 tons of CO2 from fuel production to usage. 2
LoL. Lavender Lad, get on your bike and ride off that anger. It's not harming anyone apart from yourself.
Speaking of doing research, thoughts?
