The price of signaling virtue...
lan O’Hashi spent more than 15 hours traveling 178 miles in Wyoming from Cheyenne to Casper due to the inadequacy of his electric vehicle (EV). Such a trip should have only taken three hours or less.
O’Hashi, a Wyoming native and current resident of Cheyenne, drives a Nissan Leaf, a cheap hatchback EV that can barely get a driving range of more than 200 miles.
In some of this year’s return trips to the Cowboy State, O’Hashi learned that a long road trip with an EV is much different than a similar trip with a traditional gasoline- or diesel-fueled vehicle.

“It was very difficult,” said O’Hashi. “For example, [it took] 15 hours to get from Cheyenne to Casper.”
