520 mile or 800+ km range is the kind of capacity that when available in cheaper vehicles will really push EV into the mainstream. At that point road trips are a non issue as you need a longer break at least every 500 km or so anyway.
Charging for an hour every 200 km feels much different than charging every 600.
- misiti3780 6y agoYou do not have to charge for an hour every 200km in a Tesla at the super chargers in the US.
- abraxas 6y agoIt depends which model. I own an EV and speaking from experience. The stated range is easily 25-30% lower at highway speeds. That means yes, you often have to charge a Tesla every 200km when doing a road trip.
- misiti3780 6y agoI own one also (model 3) and regularly make ~400 mile (646 kms) trips at highway speeds and only have to charge for a total of 30 minutes. I usually stop twice to charge the lower end my battery but even if I need to stop once it is 35 minutes.
