For me.. I don't need it daily... I need 200 miles in one go about every other month.... Which, given my current usage, doesn't make it economical to rent a car every other month.

For me - economics comes before environmental due to my economic situation. But, that doesn't mean I won't conserve what I've got

Hell, I'd love to be able to afford to own both an EV and a gasser... But I can't even afford the insurance for that In an case, give my usage, it will never pay for itself...
