I see Teslas on the road here inBoise Idaho area all day everyday. I would realky like to afford a 300-350mile ev. It would be used most of the time, our ice vehicles only for vacations.
How many miles do you drive most days?
Chevy Volt in Boise starting at $10k. That would cover around town pure electric and long trips on gas.
Or do you need a couple hundred miles per day?

Clearly there are buyers so that is proof enough. It is going to be spotty. In Oregon EV sales are up 40% in 2023. One in every seven cars sold was an EV
Oregon has more electric power than it knows what to do with. Has curtailed wind generation, and retail electric rates average $0.1288/kWh.
So makes sense that people buy EV there. Helps also to have no sales tax.

We in California pay more like $0.50/kWh, effectively 4x the price for "gas" when driving an EV.
Although only home charging would be cheap. This says charging stations in Portland are "average", $0.45/kWh
