How the Other Half Drives [Andrew Moseman, The Atlantic]

H

• Will Ferrell drove electric GMC Sierra, Chevy Blazer, and Hummer in Super Bowl ad to promote General Motors’ battery-powered offerings.
• Range of electric vehicles depends on how much you can spend – more expensive models have longer range.
• Americans are used to splurging on their wheels, but electric-vehicle ownership upends notions about driving, cost, and freedom.
• Ford F-150 Lightning starts at $55,000 for basic model, but extended-range battery raises cost to at least $80,000.
• Range statistics for city and highway driving are now listed to give potential owners a more realistic idea of how far the vehicles will go.
• Over time, car battery steadily diminishes and range anxiety can be an issue.
• Charging access may become a status symbol, as affluent tax brackets made up the bulk of early adopters and those who can afford to install a charger at home.
• Fast-charging in public is marked up and costs more than charging at home.
