Jason Weill<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.world/@davidnjoku" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>davidnjoku</span></a></span> One way I’ve found to counter <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/EV" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EV</span></a> <a href="https://social.ridetrans.it/tags/rangeAnxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rangeAnxiety</span></a> is to look at the miles, not the percent, and think about how far you can go. I was mildly panicking when my car hit 25% for the first time, but the guess-o-meter said I could go 75 miles, and at the time, I was 25 miles from home.</p>
😀🚲<p>Being pretty car-lite, spouse ends up driving 100 miles per week, some of which are 10 or 15-mile round trips I would do via electric cargo bike. A lot is errands or activities within 3-5 miles, but some is planned around the car and might go differently if she saw bikes as viable / non-intimidating transportation, and she&#39;s especially uncomfortable with the idea of having kids on board, flat-out won&#39;t try it on this [paint/missing] infrastructure. <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/RangeAnxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RangeAnxiety</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/VisionZero" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VisionZero</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/FuckCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FuckCars</span></a> <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/Bollards" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bollards</span></a></p>
