With 200+ mile range vehicles coming out means your longer commutes don't matter. In fact, that was one reason my kid with a long commute has a 200+ mile EV.EV's have a shorter driving range. It is just a fact.
That fact is likely to bite even the best intentioned person at some point. Let's say you just got a new job, more pay but commute longer. Oh, crap, got to get a new car or move.
Also, I am always intrigued that the "carbon footprint" crowd apparently does not realize that in this country, electricity is developed mainly using coal, fuel oil, and natural gas. So that is what you are "filling the tank" of your EV with.
Second, your carbon footprint does not matter. India and China are spewing more carbon that you can offset. If you believe man is warming he planet, you are barking up the wrong tree.
Electricity generation various considerably depending on your state!! MORE importantly, it is the one source that is getting CLEANER every year.
