[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daily driver is a Jaguar iPace with 269 summer range and 236 winter range. My home charger provides 16-19 kW per hour and recharges the car from my daily commute within a couple of hours. Although my rural hometown doesn’t even offer pizza delivery to my home, it has numerous electric charging options with about the same kW per hour. Unfortunately, that isn’t what I found on my one and only road-trip with this car. Although I went to a mid-size city, I found that the chargers I planned on using only provided 6 kW per hour which would have meant 18 hours to a full charge. The local Jaguar dealer there couldn’t even help. I finally found an office building with a security guard willing to swipe me into their private employee lot and used their paid charger which within a few hours charged me up enough to get back home. So, for now, we will keep our other car which runs on gas and use it for road trips until there is more supportive infrastructure for electric cars. [/quote]

This is why the charging network matters. If you had your car in Norway, you would be able to charge easily and quickly. We were pretty close to buying the etron but reading about road trips in non teslas in the us made us choose a Tesla. It’s our first choice car for road trips because charging is so easy. [/quote]
