I also think from the driver's perspective the usage will be totally different. Today's driver generally goes to the gas station only when the tank is empty.

I also think from the driver's perspective the usage will be totally different.
Today's driver generally goes to the gas station only when the tank is empty.
That leads to a 'big bang' event in that the tank will be close to empty at the start of the visit and full by the end of the visit.
By comparison the driver of the electric car will be using a 'top up' approach, charging the car at home over night, at work when parked, at the shopping center, etc. etc.
Those 'big bang' events, where a full recharge is required will be fewer and far between.
- theshrike79 6y ago"Big bangs" only occur when you're traveling somewhere, for regular everyday driving around your home town, you never use a fast charger. Trickle charging here and there and maybe some at home overnight from a normal wall socket is enough.
- Noos 6y agoPeople also are supposed to charge their cellular phones and laptop batteries in the same manner. You'd be surprised if you ever worked in retail how many people forget this, their phones die, and they scrambled to buy cords to do so. I feel like people don't get the difference between ideal and reality here that often.
