We don't drive much except on trips, so about every three weeks we make a Costco run and I gas it up, no biggee.  On trips, I also has it up, she does it very rarely, but never complained about it.  She lived on her own for a while of course.

I'm old enough to recall when "Self Service" was an option, and before that, it wasn't an option.

I know some states like NJ lack the option now.

We could manage now with an EV, we have chargers on site, and four more at our local Kroger.  I'd rent something for long trips.

2025 Volkswagen ID.7 Promises More Power, Better Range Than ID.4 (caranddriver.com)

The ID.7's standard powertrain setup will be a single-motor, rear-wheel-drive configuration with a 282-horsepower electric motor. That's more powerful than the RWD ID.4's 201-hp motor, and in the U.S. the ID.7 will initially come standard with the same 77.0-kWh battery pack as the crossover. The company is targeting an EPA range of 300 miles, which is a bit behind the ID.7's main rivals which include the Tesla Model 3 and the Hyundai Ioniq 6.

A larger 86.0-kWh pack will be optional in other markets and VW claims a WLTP range of 435 miles with that option. That could translate to over 350 miles on the U.S. EPA cycle, although it's possible that Volkswagen will reserve this larger battery pack on our shores for only a more powerful (but less efficient) dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant.

The proposed EPA standard for fleets is 82 g/mile CO2.  A gallon of gas is 8,887 g/co2 eq.  So, a compliant vehicle (not fleet) would need to get 108 mpg, which is within the realm of plug in hybrids (for smaller vehicles).  You might have to go full EV on larger vehicles to offset, but this doesn't drive every vehicle to full EV.


wait till the Auto industry lobby beats this up - proposed

I think most in the industry is headed that way anyway.

Most are ahead of that timeline, according to their plans.  I doubt we see much resistance to it.  Buick and Caddy claim they will be all EV by 2030.

And getting to 108 mpg fleet average is pretty doable in nine years if one EV sale counts as zero.

How much CO2 does it take to make an EV?

I read the energy balance doesn't net neutral before about 20,000 miles, as all that goes into making an EV takes a lot of CO2 by itself relative to an ICE car.  After that point, it becomes "beneficial".
