The best electric cars excites me, mostly for the potential of never having to pay for gas. Like really, who wouldn’t like that? But in testing driving my first fully electric vehicle, the Ford F150 Lightning, I came to the realization that one single question must be answered before any other if your intentions are to buy an EV soon.
It’s this: do you intend on driving long distances frequently? After attempting to charge the Ford F150 Lightning at various locations, with one of them at a Tesla Supercharger station, I quickly noticed that using one for long range travel could be problematic for the uninitiated. In fact, they might experience shell shock after looking at the cost of charging outside of their home on their first trip.
