My question to you is - how often do you drive for three hours without stopping? Either for going to the toilet, or just to stretch your leg. I occasionally drive > 200 miles in the UK. Literally every motorway service station here has a rapid charger (50kW+) which will fill your battery in 30 minutes.
- 11thEarlOfMar 7y agoYou are correct that I seldom drive 3 hours without stopping. However, as a real example, I'll drive from San Jose to Healdsburg on a day trip. That is 114 miles each way and I can make the round trip without charging at all. I pay 12 cents/KWh at home. 26 cents at a super charger. With 325 mile range, I get the savings and no anxiety about finding a charger and then finding something to do for 30 minutes. I could likely optimize it by trying to find a charger near an eatery or place of interest, but it's nice to not have that additional thought and research process. Just determine it's within easy round trip range and forget about it.
