I did that last weekend as a matter of fact. Drove about 160 miles to pick something up, was there for maybe 20 minutes, then drove home. Because I needed that thing that day. Couldn't even wait for overnight delivery.
That's a little extreme, but it's not at all uncommon for me to make the same drive with a half a day or so before I come back. But in general it's too hard to find a place to charge an electric vehicle away from home to really count on it.
- cmrdporcupine 8y agoI do this for day ski trips all the time in my Volt. Two weeks in a row I drove about 150km, ski'd for 3-4 hours, and then turned around and came home. Neither ski hill had charging stations but even if they did even at 7kw charging (unlikely as most stations are shared @ 3kw) that would likely not be enough to fill the battery enough for a 150km drive in the winter. And the range of a 60kwh battery (350km or so) would be tight with winter driving for that kind of trip -- in winter range is 60-70% of summer range.
