> You wouldn't start full? Using your numbers, 250*.9 + 180 + 180 makes the trip in two charges. Sorry, you're quite right. So towing it'll be 2hr of charging for 9hr of driving, empty it'll be 80min for 9hr. I don't really buy the meals argument, though... I can't recall when I've ever stopped for a meal while driving somewhere. Even on long road trips (like 4k+ mi) I prefer not to eat whole meals during the day as I find they make me less alert and sleepy, especially given the lack of physical activity driving entails. That's not to say it would be impossible, or bad even, to take a few half hour breaks during a day's drive. I hope some day a car manufacturer decides to make a simple, decent, 25+yr vehicle again. No plastic, repairable, maintainable. I'd love to buy one.
