Plenty EV'ers have found out that their EV is their main vehicle,

or share a long-range vehicle for the rare occasion.
Perhaps so, but with a 1990 Jetta lead-acid conversion that does only 25
or 30 miles on a charge, and a very rare week that doesn't require me to
travel 70 to 100 miles a day at least once, I need an ICE vehicle. I'm
not going to rent a car once or twice a week - too much expense and
wasted time. The need is not rare for me.
Even an EV that could do 70 miles on a charge would be inadequate. Make
it 150 or 200 miles or it's not enough.
And since I buy my vehicles used for under $10,000, that used EV should
cost the same. Know where I can get one?
