I was looking over an app I downloaded....Chargepoint ...as well as Blinks. I am impressed and see in the Philadelphia area there are a ton of charge points, some are free while some are costly (some are expensive). So numbers of chargers are increasing for both plug-in or all EV models.

I live 50 miles from Philadelphia in South Jersey. But when I start looking at the benefits of having a plug-in compared to an 'all electric EV' I have to think that a plug-in works best. With a plug-in, I have 'range' of 600+ miles with my Prius. I was talking with a guy at my gym who has a Bolt. His range is 200 and then needs to 'sit and wait' for a recharge. He needs to travel from South Jersey to Iowa for a family function and needs to figure out how to get there without renting a car to do it, or, sitting in charging stations and increasing his time to get to Iowa.

Given the price of some of the Charge stations, they equal the price of gas, if not more in some cases. So I question the true...

For our EV enthusiasts outside of the US, here's a short roundup of interesting EV news!

• By the end of 2018, Amazon Logistics will have 100 eVitos in its fleet at its Bochum and Düsseldorf locations.
  
  
• World's largest electric-car rally kicked off in Switzerland
  
  
• The UK wants every new home to come with an EV charger. The "Automated and Electric Vehicles Bill" will also ensure that charging points are installed at freeway service stations and large gas retailers.
  
  
• The French capital has already tested a "day without cars," and has discussed banning internal-combustion cars by 2030. That makes Paris the perfect place to launch an electric car-sharing service.
  

Have any good stories to add?...

Just saw this today and was curious of peoples' thoughts:
2019 Honda Insight - Hybrid of style and efficiency | Honda

• I love the design and that it doesn't scream different just because it can.
• The technology package seems far superior to the current Prii (mind you I love my Prime Advanced technology).
• 151 HP
• MSRP is rather competitive.

Just a few initial thoughts anyways.
