1) I don't want to be bothered every time I stop. Charge should be enough for 5 hours driving.
2) that is a nice example, but definitely not the norm.
3) the most important point is not longevity: it's predictability.
- bryanlarsen 5y ago1) it takes about 5 seconds to plug the car in, and another 5 to unplug it. And the charger is often in a nice reserved spot, so you get that 5 seconds back because you have less distance to walk to the washroom. 2) It is very definitely the norm. Electric cars have more interior space than equivalent ICE cars. 3) Every EV except the Leaf has very predictable battery longevity.
- pif 5y ago1) you are assuming that I always stop at gas stations. I like the freedom, from time to time, to take a break in a parking area, with just a toilet and maybe some scenery. Or quitting the motorway to have my lunch in a local restaurant. I don't want to be bothered to look for a charge every 300 km. 2) I'm not talking about trunk: I'm talking especially about internal height. 3) nice to know, thank you.
