      Exactly. You can’t choose to occasionally take road/business trips into the under developed parts of the world in a Leaf.

        That’s an edge case if it’s any more regular than could be addressed by hiring a car for those trips. And if it’s that regular, then a plain ICE would be a far far better fit as you aren’t trying to drag around a useless heavy battery and motor on them and you haven’t paid over the odds to do so.

        It’s like the dumbasses that purchase a pickup truck for the flat bed, then use it at must a handful of times. For them, hiring a van or a trailer would be the sensible choice. If they ran a landscaping business or something, then yeah, a pickup is the way to go.

        Buy the vehicle for whatever the majority of driving you need, not some random likely rare edge case, that’s dumb.

          How frequently would you need to make that trip for it to be more expensive to rent a car each time?
