>EVs can't do long trips The new Tesla can do 335 miles [0]. That's quite enough for a day's journey in my opinion. [0] http://fortune.com/2017/01/22/tesla-long

  Under ideal – and often somewhat uncomfortable – conditions, perhaps. Anyway, range anxiety is a real thing, and 335 miles won't cut it unless you can charge it like you can fill up a traditional car (which you can't do), although 335 miles sure takes a lot more time when driving at a speed that Tesla gets it without a recharge.

  It's plenty long enough to be stuck in a car but kind of a bummer to have 100 miles left.

  My limit is more like 700 miles. I'll easily drive 12 or 14 hours with only fuel stops. I used to do 1,000 miles to Florida non stop for spring break. I don't do that anymore but know people who do.
