I like to know that I can get in my vehicle any time I want, regardless of the weather, and go as far as I want or need to go.

And, no, it's not the same situation as when you run out of gas. You can't pour a gallon of electrons in your EV and be on your way.

I'm glad the EV works for you, but it's definitely not for everyone.
