That is part of our long term plan with my parents and I both being EV owners now, I also own a Civic VX and they own a Ford Ranger pickup truck, both of those gasoline vehicles sit for weeks at a time, they are also the vehicles that other people borrow as well and their pickup truck gets used for less then 2,000 miles per year, because a pickup truck is a useful tool to be able to use but you don't need to drive a pickup truck every day and a single pickup truck can serve a whole extended family or neighborhood!
