[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t want to have to charge my car for 30 minutes every 2 hours on a road trip. I will wait for the infrastructure to catch up.[/quote]

Does it change your mind if it's 20 minutes every 3 hours?[/quote]

No -- 8 hours minimum before electric cars work for most people.  And then a 5 minute recharge for another 8.[/quote]

We have one electric car and one gas car. The gas car has a 10-gallon tank; the electric car has a 77 kWh battery. They both basically have the same range, but we can fill up the electric car's battery in our driveway whenever we want, while we have to take the gas car somewhere to refuel it. Neither of them can drive for 8 hours straight without stopping for gas or electricity, so it's never occurred to me to try something ridiculous like that. But sure, "most people" can't use electric cars until they can drive from D.C. to Nashville straight through without stopping.[/quote]

A 10 gallon tank?  I couldn't get through one day of driving on a 10 gallon tank.  This all works for people that do not drive much.  But not really for anyone outside a city.[/quote]
