GM Went All In on EVs. Dealers Say Buyers Want Hybrids. - WSJ

7. Yep. I have an EV now but before I had 3 Prius's

The Prius was great because of the mpg and long distances it could drive.

I bought a Tesla 3 years ago after my latest Prius was totaled.
It's great that I can start each day with a full charge but there is some planning needed if I want to take a long trip.

The Tesla charging network is what made it viable, I can drive just about anywhere, but you have to get re-charged at least once for a day trip. It's not hard but you don't want to find yourself with 10 minutes charge left and the nearest Tesla chargers 30 minutes away. The car warns you ahead of time and shows on the map where the nearest Tesla chargers are but if you don't plan, they may take you away from your expected route.

One smart thing Tesla did is put most of their chargers next to shopping or restaurants so you have something to do while you charge.

A good hybrid is an excellent alternative.
