I don't have any interest in fast charging or using an EV on long trips unless I'm permanently moving it to a new location. The DC fast charge contributes to battery degradation, and I can't be bothered with even a 20min charge on a trip up to Seattle. That's why I intend to keep the plug-in Prius.

EV's won't replace primary vehicles for a long time, but they are a smart choice for multi-vehicle families. If I were single and only owned 1 vehicle, I still might choose an EV and just trade with a friend/family for longer trips.
