I feel like you'd have to have two, using one while the other slow charged.

not sure. in rural areas your not going that far away from home. its not like your going to town every day. so around the farm it could well be practical. but certainly not for going far away, especially with load. for that you would have a 2nd ICE vehicle.
so really your looking at having multiple vehicles, which is pretty common anyway.

if your low usage, charging is not much of a problem. this is why some of the smaller battery EV's make more sense.

hopefully they make some better battery tech that makes longer lasting batteries. then you don't bother with replacement batteries.

1487445 2022-07-21 23:23:00 It seems to be about the same but of course please check my figures and rip me to shreds as you huas are prone to do
In 1973 fuel was 10c liter my starting salary as an RNZAF recruit was $1500/yr 0.06%
In 2022 fuel is 2.90 liter starting salary for a recruit is $44,000/yr 0.065%

The Yank influence once more! For a start the Yanks are behind the rest of the world and still use the imperial system and secondly, when they do mention the metric system they spell the measurement as liter when the rest of the world spell it the correct way: litre. Get it right!

1487448 2022-07-22 00:16:00 I used to know a guy at school who's name was Ross. He went under the nickname of Roscoe. He was not a very nice person and a lot of people avoided him.

However, this doesn't make me dislike all people who are named Ross/Roscoe. One very good friend (since died) was a Ross/Roscoe. He was a great guy!

Your blanket condemnation of anything American really is quite peurile!

So what is wrong with being Kiwi? Why do so many people have to copy the Yanks? They have their own version of English which has only a passing similarity to Kiwi English. Their way of life is so different to ours.

But then, as I recall, there is nothing new about that. The more impressionable among us copy everything the Yanks do. That sort of thing has been happening for as long as I can remember - and I think that I would be close to your age. It's sad really. We have our own unique way of life. Why do we have to copy anyone else?

But you did not answer the question. Where are your standards? Do you, like the rest of the sheep, copy the low standards of the Yanks?

American propaganda. They constantly tell everyone that they're the greatest country in the world (yeah, right!).

That's not to say that everything in or from America is terrible, it isn't, but they are certainly not the pinnacle of greatness they would like to have everyone believe.

I don't think that everything in or from America is terrible. I have found the few Americans I have met, here and in America, very nice people. But I fail to see what is wrong with the Kiwi way of life. It is our way of life. I don't think the majority of Kiwis would wish to embrace the American way of life with someone being shot somewhere in America almost every day. I say, let's keep everything Kiwi. I fail to see what's wrong with that.
