    Lol. Sounds good. My little brother lives in Birmingham, AL and I live in West Lafayette, IN. My sister lives in Fishers, IN and my in-laws are at one of the northernmost suburbs of chicago. I invite you to propose me travel solutions for my wife and two children under 5 which are better than my electric car.

    For reference:

    West lafayette to Birmingham: 875 km

    West Lafayette to Fishers: 112 km

    West Lafayette to North of chicago: 260 km

    I would LOVE to take the train or bike or walk. But I think people like you and OP might be underestimating the hostility toward (and unavailability of) public transit in the US outside of Metro areas. I appreciate that there are better answers than my electric car, but it’s better than getting in my double wide and double tall diesel truck, no?
