I mean, this is completely false if you are someone who doesn’t mind a little discomfort (which seems to becoming rapidly uncommon).
When I was in my early 20s many Fridays saw me leaving for an all-night 500+ mile drive(one drive I did several times was 900 miles) to visit my friends at university.
Even recently, when I go backpacking I typically drive non-stop many hundreds of miles.
- ggreer 4y agoPeople have run this experiment. A 1,000 mile road trip in a Tesla is about 8% slower than a gas car.[1] That's 90 minutes over 19 hours of driving, and the difference would have been smaller had they charged the car overnight. Battery and charging technology is only getting better, so that gap will narrow over time. Also consider that if most of your driving is not road trips, EVs save time compared to gas cars. You plug the car in when you get home and wake up with a full tank, so to speak. 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXzuFprlyrw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXzuFprlyrw
