    I’ve considered this a bit.

    I preordered the slate because I like the idea a lot. If it works well enough for most of my driving then I can rent a car for long trips and camping.

    But even if I get it I think I it will be quite a while before I also get rid of my ice vehicle. The convenience of a 5 minute fuel up is just too nice.

      The convenience of a 5 minute fuel up is just too nice.

      Not as convenient as plugging it in when you get home. (For those with the privilege to do so). One of my favorite parts of driving electric for the last ten years has been not having to stop at the gas station.

      My partner and I actually have one electric, and one plug-in hybrid. We end up putting fuel in the hybrid about once every 4-6 months on average.
