These two vehicle are like comparing a corolla to a C-Class.

But you can fill up at home where the ICE vehicles cannot.

I am sorry to hear this. The main problem was you picked a vehicle that is well below average for road trips. If you went with a model 3 instead your range could have been 50 miles greater, Charging would be over 50% faster and the number of places to stop would have doubles or more. If an Ioniq 6 you would have had the long range and even faster charging but less chargers to choose from for now.

Kind of like renting a van when you needed a 3/4 truck. Wrong vehicle for the job.

People sure hate facts sometimes!

Not being able to charge at home is a big issue for many. Maybe the largest up hill battle for EVs.

No, a transmission would cost more and the packaging issues would be way worse.

Of course fraud is illegal. Lying is typically done from ignorance not on purpose with most sales people IMO. Of course the ones that knowingly lie are scum.

Sounds like spin to cover his own ass since Mazda sucks in EVs.

Just remember these are people that are poorly paid and work long hours and in most cases are treated like crap by management.

Oh, the truth is unpopular, who knew!

I would get a solar panel system in conjunction with it.

If it has been treated unfairly. Companies are just people. Sometimes a lot of people some times one person.

I do not see the range going up that much. It would be stupid to have that extra weight and expense.
