We drove out to the Poconos in PA this summer. We stopped at Gettysburg for a day, and 1/2 a day at Valley Forge. Never any issue getting gasoline and filling up in minutes. 3,650 miles round trip.

At Valley Forge, we pulled up in the large parking lot, and as always I wanted a safe parking spot for my 911. Right by the bathrooms, next to the handicap parking up close and special was the four EV charging spots. So EVs get special close parking, except all four spots had these signs on them. There are only three in the photo so the text of the sign could be read in the picture. I did not feel bad about taking up a EV spot since the signs basically said "No juice for you"

Until the limited EV infrastructure becomes much more reliable, EVs are not ready for prime time except as a commuter vehicle. If I was commuting 30 or 40 miles per day each way I would indeed have a EV. My commute is 14 steps down the hall, so I will stick to my cars I bought in the last millennium and were paid for back then.
