10 minutes. That's the longest I'm willing to wait at stops. Maybe 15 minutes if I had to.
And stop no more often than every 3 hours.
So I'd need about 200 miles of range in 10 minutes of charging. Can they do that?
- sib 7y agoPeak charging rate currently for a Tesla Model 3 at a v3 Supercharger is a bit over 1,000 miles per hour. It can't maintain that rate for very long to avoid battery degradation, but it could very well do 160 miles in 10 minutes or 200 in 15. So... not quite yet, but not out of the range of the possible in the near future.
- neilwilson 7y agoThe recommended safety advice is to stop every two hours or so and rest for fifteen minutes each time. Otherwise you increase your chances of having an accident due to fatigue. The EU rules for driving HGV allow you to drive 2 hours, have a 15 minute break, drive a further 2.5 hours and have a 30 minute break. Those are enforced by law and tachographs
