That's what I thought. Every time I think it's you, though, it ends up being John. So this was the one time I was actually right.

That's true.

That's true.

So Marco brought up this very funny post of what it would be like if you grew up on electric cars and went and test drove a gasoline or petrol powered one for the first time. A friend of the show, Spencer, was able to dig it up for me, and I will put it in the show notes for this one.

this episode i will say i skimmed it real quick uh again and i remembered really liking this post when i first read it several years ago skimming it now maybe it's my own priors as merlin would say that i'm bringing to the table here but it reads really obnoxious so maybe it wasn't as good as i thought and i actually am not sure this is it so i went searching for it with every tool i have

Yeah, and I mean, during the way I remember that conversation, and as we've established already this episode and many times before, my memory is trash. But the way I remember the conversation was that during the course of the conversation, I pretty much convinced myself that there are almost no trips I ever go on that would even necessitate a charging stop. every summer.

Um, the place that we consistently go to Cape Charles on the Eastern shore, 140 miles away and damn near any EV worth its salt is going to be able to go, you know, 200 plus miles. So that shouldn't be an issue. Now I did bring up that we're going to, uh, we're actually having a second vacation this summer, uh, That's like four or five hours away.

I forget how many miles that is offhand, but I think it was far enough that it would necessitate a stop. But in the entire lifetime of Erin's Volvo, her prior Volvo, may it rest in peace, we took like one trip, I think, that was more than like 200 or 300 miles away.

So I don't debate that intellectually you are 100% correct, that I would probably almost never need to worry about stopping at a Charger. And even if I did, it would be so infrequent, it would be near as makes no difference to zero. But it's still scary. And for the needs that we have today in easing our toe in the water, I really stand by our choice for PHEV.

But we'll see what happens in the future. And I was actually talking to my father this morning. We just saw them just a couple hours ago. And I was talking to my dad about it. And I was saying to him that, you know, In a way, I'm getting a little bit of the itch. You know, I've had my Volkswagen for six years now and actually almost six and a half.

And I'm kind of getting the itch to get something new. And if I do that, I think I would get a battery electric, which is what I said last episode. But I have a couple problems. First of all, there's none that I really, really love right now. There's no BEVs. There's no battery electric vehicles that I really, really love right now.
