AN ELECTRIC HUMVEE IS THE PERFECT ROAD TRIP CAR FOR AN OLD GUY.

A lengthy stop to recharge after two hours is mandatory.  "Broken chargers, full charging stations, single-digit temperatures, and optimistic range estimates have tested our patience." That's true in California under temperate conditions, and have fun going from Tennessee to Michigan in winter.

Finally made it home to Detroit. Total door-to-door time was 13 hours on the nose (2 hours more than the trip would take in a gas vehicle), including an extended charging session while the Lucid people talked me through a needed software reset after all the screens went dark in the Air, a 15-minute stop at a Kentucky booze store, and an extended second charging session due to the time it took to get a carry-out dinner. That extended last stop turned out to be a lucky thing, because it gave me enough extra cushion to do what I always do when I cross the Michigan border—drive 85 or 90 mph the remaining 80 miles or so to speed up the arrival time, which really burns down the battery. I rolled in with 37 miles (8 percent) left when the original projection was 130 or so. That EVgo DC fast charger in Cincinnati was the only one on the trip to approach the full 350 kW. Carefree long-distance EV road-tripping in America's heartland isn't a thing yet, in my experience.

I've suspected that the limited range is a feature, not a bug. Can't have all that recreational travel.

Speaking of old guys stopping to recharge, look who showed up endorsing that humvee.

Then he says under his watch, the “great American road trip is going to be fully electrified.” We’re not even sure “your watch” is going to be until 2024 and you think it’s going to be “fully electrified.” That’s delusional.

Um, Joe? If people are having trouble even buying gas for their cars because of the gas prices that you drove higher over these two years you’ve been in office, how do you think they’re going to be able to buy a car that costs over $100,000? And just a heads up. I know that you have a classic Corvette (next to the classified documents you keep in the garage) and can buy any car or beach house you want, but most other Americans can’t, particularly not after all you have taken out of their pockets. This car costs more than most Americans make in a year, with many living paycheck to paycheck under Biden’s oppressive economy.

Yes, and part of that "transition" he keeps babbling about is not doing as much discretionary travel, unless it's on the trains (or maybe the airplanes) that haven't acquitted themselves so well of late.  The environmentalist wackos noticed.  "He also got attacked by many on the left for pushing the Hummer and how expensive it was."  In addition, spend a few minutes on urban transit social media, and see how quickly somebody will point out that traffic congestion with electric cars is still traffic congestion.

That summary of reactions concludes,

Not to mention that it may take an incredibly long time to charge.

But again, does Biden know any of this or even care? It doesn’t look like it.

He neither knew, nor had to care, because while the car was recharging, so was he.
