How frequently do you drive 500 miles without stopping? Remember, if you have a home plug you can leave the house with a “full tank of gas” every day.
This will also gain access to the Tesla supercharger network when Honda switches to the NACS plug in a few years. It’s very easy in most populated parts of the country to do a road trip with the supercharger network. Stop for 20-30 minutes then get back on the road. (You might even be able to use it with the initial version’s CCS plug as Tesla has their two-plug super chargers starting to roll out.)
If you really do drive more than 500 miles a day regularly, or you are in a sparsely populated area or have no home L2 charger, Evs are not for you yet and that’s fine. And despite the rhetoric out there, “they” aren’t going to force you to get one anytime soon.
- uberman 3y agoI almost never drive 500 miles in a day, but I coach a nationally competitive sports team and tournaments are frequently 250 to 300 miles from where i live. Even at 100 miles i would be uncomfortable to drive to the tournament without knowing that a level 3 charger was available and functional at my hotel. Is any home charger able to filling recharge a car overnight? My impression is that even level 2 home chargers really only keep relatively charged cars topped up.
