Where exactly do you live that you need to go more than 100, 150 miles one way? Even in the moderate back ass of nowhere, you're probably not more than 20 or 30 miles to necessities (groceries, etc), right? Either way, this situation (20-30 miles from a grocery store) certainly wouldn't be a considered "HCOL, ..., major metro area," right? I just can't compute this.

Living in an area like that, and having to rent a car for longer trips in a PITA. Car rental is not exactly easy in areas like that. If there is a rental agency nearby, it probably is open 9-5. So you have to pick up the car a day in advance, and leave your EV there if they let you, or have another person along to drive it back. It's just not practical.

And if you are trying to rent a car around the holidays - when most people take these kinds of long trips you can forget it! If you are lucky you might get stuck with the minivan that smells of puke.
If you are lucky!
