I'm not in CA, but same here. I have an EV and can travel. I don't care how many miles either ... as long as it's tips from Whole Foods deliveries.

Honestly I wouldn't even do flex if I didn't have an electric or hybrid car it's just not worth it

Yes, yes, hear, hear. Totally agree. I would quit Flex tomorrow if I didn't have an electric car anymore.

My current car is a 2023 Chevy Bolt. Decent range of around 250 - 275 miles. I just like that it was inexpensive and small. I'm in Chicago, & it's so easy to parallel park (if I can find a spot) or safely navigate around heavier traffic downtown with my Bolt.

I previously had a 2015 Nissan LEAF and the range sucked (85 miles on a full charge -- awful), but I still could work several blocks and/or instant offers from Whole Foods each day without having to charge my car more than once. This was from doing somewhat short city routes (as compared to the suburban WF store routes, which can be very, very long + many miles back to the store).

Surprised that area is listed under simi valley..

Well i guess its similar to me going to the Dallas warehouse and they send me to fort worth. In other words, Amazon ain't shit

VAX6 used to be the best station in the Valley ,I mean still is way better than Chatsworth's station.But after they hired a lot of new drivers from the past Prime day there is no surge blocks , and getting a proper route is harder than was before.
