    As for comparisons to gasoline, I’d be leaving the tank empty so that’s not a concern for me.

    You would carry around a whole combustion engine just to leave it empty?? Wtf that’s even more waistful and inefficient. Get an older EV with a small battery if you’re so allergic to it.

    Battery fires are not catastrophic, it just takes a different approach to deal with it and we already know how.

      Oh, looking it up they do come to about the same weight in the end (information that was very difficult to source BTW). Guess that eliminates much of the entire point of this. All I would need is 80km of range at most so I’m put off by all these cars offering 500km that I don’t want or need.

      I guess an old EV is probably the better option. With the added advantage that I’ll probably get physical controls instead of a damn touch-screen.
