Ah yes, a single day's travel is the best way to figure out what kind of range someone needs.
that gross overkill, the tons of steel and dozens of gallons of gasoline you're spewing co2 to lug around every single day to travel 20 miles is where our emissions come from. Because once every several months you might want to travel somewhere further and you dont want to have to wait around a half hour to charge
Do you just avoid ever leaving your house just to feel self righteous?
Im just not oblivious to whats going on. The US is the second largest contributor of greenhouse gas emissions, and with more than double the contribution per capita of the number one spot. Transportation is the highest emitting sector in the US, and personal vehicles make up the largest chunk of those emissions. The US has also had a staggering upward trend of SUV and pickup sales making up the bulk of those emissions.
You've got a flagrant disregard for the consequences of your horrible choices.
Wrong again... 10 years worth of pollution due to your scenario, doesn't add up to a single Kardashian short jetting to avoid traffic
And yet personal vehicles make up a much larger portion of the countries emissions than all of aviation.
