By the time I'm starting to see the bright side of EVs, my friend who bought a Tata Harrier EV 8 months back is repenting that decision. He says that, while EV is a great option for the city, on highways, when he frequently travels to Kerala and Goa, the EV curtails his freedom to move. He says that, whatever EV fanboys say, the moment the battery drops 30%, he starts to plan for recharging the car. That means, after 300 km, his mind starts to worry about charging the car instead of focusing on the road. In the past, when he had a diesel Verna, he fill the tank and goes to Kerala in one shot. Now, he stops for charging at least twice, sometimes three times, because his village doesn't have the charging infra. He is saying that he's already tired of the level of planing required before and during the trip. And his another crib is that he now has to eat where there's a charger, spend 45 mins to 1 hour instead of 30 mins lunch break earlier, and sometimes takes an unnecessary tea break in a big hotel just to top up his battery instead of a road side bakery that he used to stop earlier.
