Here is a documented 20,000 mile 100 day trip in an electric car that can answer a few more questions.

What if you don't believe that CO2 is a pollutant? What if you want to eat in the car as you drive to save time? What if you can't find a charging station? What if you have a business meeting and can't be late?

What if you don't believe pollutants exist? What if you think self-driving cars are fine for dinner and a movie? What if you only do direct nutrient injection? What if you find charging stations at home and at your destination? What if you left for your business meeting you can't be late too at a reasonable time to not be late? What if there were a lot of what ifs? What if you found that you didn't need a vehicle at all, because you were always already where you needed to be? What if?
