I found this video pretty interesting. Personally, I think most of this experience is owed to poor trip planning by the owner, but it is an example of how someone with a busy schedule and long trips can be impacted by owning a BEV.

Ironically, he might have saved himself time by backtracking west and recharging at the Burbank Supercharger, but oh well. First world problems.

We are hoping to do the same thing when it comes time to replace my wife's 2008 ICE RAV4 in 2018-2020: Volt + long range BEV until we replace my Volt in 2024 or so.

Same here. Hope to get a Bolt EV eventually to put alongside the Volt in place of my wife's Traverse. We'll probably keep the Traverse as a third car until EREV is available in an SUV that can tow a camper (GM are you listening?). And in all seriousness, I may just keep my '16 Volt around long enough to hand the keys (ok, the fob) to my son when he turns sixteen (he'll be TWO next week!)
