My solution will be to have a longer range vehicle, either ICE or PHEV, and an EV in our family. My intention is to never use an EV beyond the single charge range, at least until infrastructure is commonplace and can restore 200 miles of range in about 10 minutes of charging. 350 kW chargers are at on the verge of what I'd be willing to wait for, assuming they sustain that rate for the full 10 minute charge.

EV just wouldn't suit my needs here or especially in CO as the only vehicle.
