Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

That is astonishing, really, even for CA.  I'm paying 12 cents per.  My bill last month broached $200 for the first time in 5 years.

1700 SF. 74 degrees constant.

$210 last month. Probably be the same for July.

As with anything, it's situational.

A base Tesla Model 3, supposedly, has 267 miles of range. Drop that by 20% assuming this is your daily driver, as most don't push their battery beyond 80% unless it's prepping for a single long drive. So immediately pull that down to 213 miles if you start with 80% charge. Then drop another 41% off that assuming it's exactly 20degF. Now you're down to 126 miles.

Is it common that you're driving more than 126 miles in a day? For some of you, probably yes. For many others, probably no. I.e. for me today, I'll probably drive around 35-40 miles, including commute to/from work and a stop at Costco. It will actually be quite rare for me to exceed 126 miles.

Then, if there are rare days when you think 126 is too short, there's the possibility to charge to 100%, in which case you get some of that mileage back... That'll get you up to 157 miles on a single charge at 20degF. As long as you're not charging to 100% every night, that's not a problem.

And this is all assuming that you're not going anywhere that a top-off charge is convenient.

I think range anxiety is overblown. Are there people who simply can't live with an EV due to range? OF COURSE THERE ARE. Is it typically as many people who actually worry about it? I'm guessing not.

You are probably right but my concern is two things:

First, I don't want to be too early on this and come to find out that whoops, they did all their testing in SoCal at 70° and the thing has severely limited range when it snows (need to use defrost constantly to keep windshield clear) and it can barely get out of the driveway on the coldest days of the year.

Second, I'm a lot more concerned about range in winter than summer already. Tuesday I ran almost to E because I had a bunch of stuff to do and limited time so I didn't stop to fill up until I was almost done and almost empty. In the winter I almost NEVER let the tank drop below half because I've been stuck in my car for hours due to inclement weather and related accidents. If that happens I want to have enough energy on board to keep myself and my kids warm.

I'll wait a few years, maybe longer

Ford came out early with the Lightning
after waiting a year, the Silverado has a much better battery

I'm probably closer to looking seriously at an EV than the rest of you guys, based on my driving habits, plan to keep my Jeep, and the fact that I do live in sunny and temperate SoCal. 

But even then, it's not for at least 3 more years at this point when the oldest will be ready for college. And based on the mileage accrual on the Flex, I may not even be at 100K by then and may prefer to just keep driving it several more years rather than buying another car. 

So I'm happy waiting to see how the market develops.
