I hope my mother goes back because I'm tired of her having trouble reaching her destination every time she wants to visit our family... At the moment she's considering leaving the car there for the rest of winter and coming back by bus because she doesn't know if she'll be able to make it! She barely managed to make it across the 250km no man's land in the middle of the trip and the whole thing took her 8h instead of 4.5h like it usually would.
This sounds like a highly unusual situation for someone with an EV. Given the circumstances I'd also be switching back or at least renting a car depending on the frequency of that trip. I've personally never had range anxiety but I understand it can still depend a lot on the specifics of your vehicle and where you live.
I don't think it's that unusual when you live in places where there's actual winters...
She used to own a Leaf and would rent a gas car for the trip but in the end she would end up spending more than she saved on gas by owning an EV (renting a car gets expensive when driving long distances!)
Maybe this trip will be the one where she realizes she needs an EV with way more range (which she can't afford because they're fucking expensive)...
WHAT KIND OF FREAKING CAR DOES SHE HAVE.
With that kind of reaction do you really think I will feel like sharing?

18 people have asked, its a reasonable question. its relevant, pertinent, and why the fuck did you share such a shitty story if you dont feel like making up something as mundane and insignificant as type of car. Theres only 85,000 models of car on market. You got what u wanted, atention. I apologize for wondering about what would probably be an extrehely simple matter for you to include such commonly requested information in either your iffy story, or as followup. To answer your question, why the fuck you wanna know? I didn't ask if you felt like sharing, lol. I asked for information, not your contrived "reaction" to my simple request for information. I guess in hindsight I was hoping you would reply all snarkey and sassy, leaving me in dark. Again, I apologize gor being interested in upur story and hoping you had sincere information to offer. Are dick pics a reaction? can I see your reaction, my esteemed story telling guy?
<3
its all good
i still like your story
your cool
18? 🤔 Where do you see 18 people asking for that?
Just learn to ask questions in a way that doesn't make you look like an asshole and maybe you'll get better results... Just like the other people that asked and that I replied to.
