It only takes ~20mins to charge a Tesla from 10% to 85% at a SuperCharger station. For 3 stops, he likely only added ~45 mins. If you round up and add time getting on/off the highway, plugging in and unplugging, he maybe added an hour to the overall trip. Newer Superchargers (v3) are higher power and reduce the charge time further.
- CountDrewku 5y agoYou need to add in the detours you'll need to make to find superchargers and 20 minutes is still much longer than you need to fill a gas tank. Additionally, you're going to be charging more often than you'll be filling the tank in a similar sized vehicle. If you're towing anything then EV is just out the window because they're not capable of towing anything for a long enough distance to be practical. Really EV's only seem practical if you want to be environmentally friendly imo and even then there are more eco friendly ways to commute. I bike to work often so I feel like I offset my emissions just as much as anyone who's commuting with an EV.
