I road trip regularly with my Tesla Model S. You would be surprised at where there are charging solutions. Any RV park can charge you up over night. If you use superchargers, it's hardly slower than a gas car. A 600 mile day that would take roughly 9 hours of driving and 1.5 hours of stopping (getting gas, eating, bathroom breaks) in a gas car takes about 9 hours of driving and 2 hours of stopping (charging, eating, bathroom breaks).
To me that's totally worth the savings on fuel and the fact that the car does 90% of the driving for me. If you left at the same time, you'd beat me by 30 minutes, but I wouldn't feel like I'd been driving all day, and I would save $50+ on gas.
- irrational 8y agoI'm not too familiar with how far an EV car can typically go on a charge. I looked at our typical trip on https://chargehub.com https://chargehub.com and there are three sections where there is a 200 mile gap between charge stations. Can a typical EV vehicle carrying say 7 people with all their gear, kayaks, roof top luggage shell, etc. go 200 miles between charging stations? Two of the sections would be through mountainous terrain with steep climbing if that makes any difference.
