You are aware that a single 20-30 minute stop for charging, stretching your legs, etc. with most modestly priced EVs would easily get you there, right? You get a car with e.g. 300 mile range. You top it up midway from 20% to 60-70% in something like half an hour and you arrive with plenty of range left to do whatever. Plug it in at night and drive back the next day. No big deal. The future is now.
You are paying a very steep price for not taking that break. And not just financially. From a road safety point of view; you should consider taking that break in any case. It's the decent thing to do for other people on the road. Stretch your legs, have a coffee, eat some stuff. Anyone driving that kind of distance non stop is going to be tired, unfocused, and generally not a safe driver. Also, it's not great for your body. There are many good reasons to take a break on such a long journey.
- WirelessGigabit 3y agoI go on a road trip with my better half. Load car in the evening before. Walk up, make coffee, and leave. Find out last gas station we can make it to. Stop, I start to fill up. Better half goes to use the restroom. She comes back, cleans the dead bugs of off the windshield while I go use the restroom. I come back, she's behind the wheel ready to go. Total time: ~7 minutes. That's 350 miles of range we just put in. Can your EV do that?
