“It’s cheaper to rent a car for two days (per year) than to spend 10 grand on a much bigger battery,” Kempton said."

@asymco I’ve been driving a Fiat 500e (range: 84 miles) for a couple of years now, and we rented a car for road trips. Now I also have a Chevy Bolt EUV (range: 243 miles) so *some* road trips are more feasible, but I will likely still rent a car for very long road trips.
The “new car” is part of the trip experience!
