M-F I drive 20-40 miles a day, no biggie for an EV.
Weekends I may not drive at all occasionally, but more often than not I’m putting hundreds of miles on my car, sometimes over 1,000, depending on the task at hand.
I’ve considered getting a runabout like a Nissan leaf for weekdays, but even if it saves me 2-4$ a day m-f in fuel, the cost of the car plus the insurance premiums eat that savings up even with minimum coverage, and an old leafs sub 100 mile range will simply not suffice for my weekend adventures 3 out of 4 weeks a month, so keeping an ice with insurance would be a necessity for me.
If they come out with an affordable (sub $35k) EV that gets 400 miles on a full charge, that changes things for me.

Until that is available, ice it is for me.
