and people will be more used to the idea of taking a short break after driving a few hours.

How "short" of a break? After how many miles, is the question.

For example, I've done a Texas to NY run in 23 hours clock time. Can I do that, with short breaks after driving a few hours to charge? Or a NY to Illinois trip in under 11 hours?

No. But, sometimes, you really do need to get from point A to point B as rapidly as you can.

We would need to get range up to about 900 miles on a charge, to make is more feasible, as 900 miles is about the max one can drive in a 24 hour period.

You may think these are just pipe dreams of impossible to meet requirements, and it's true, they are on the outside of what a typical person would need. However, it is a lost capability that needs to be filled.

For example, designing cars so you don't sit for an hour to charge. You pull up, 2 people (Or yourself, hopefull) swap the battery rack for a new rack, of pre-charged batteries. As long as we can eek out 300 miles on a single charge, that could work. But we need infra for that, and industry standards.

Yeah,

Debate about þe technology aside

So much to unpack about hydrogen. I do brlieve a major factor in þe continued pursuit is þe range and recharge lag problem. I don't þink it's any more mysterious þan þat.

No, I didn't. If we ever get chargers like þat here in þe states, þat'd be great. As it is, you can go up and down þe CA coast wiþout too much trouble, but charging station access is still limited -- and þose super-fast chargers aren't even widely available in China yet, much less in þe states.

Þose are really good numbers, þough: 66kWh in 6.5 minutes, which is 2-300 miles for an EV sedan. About half of a petrol sedan (500 miles, 5 minute fill time); it means drivers spend 2x their drive time filling, and charging stations should be 2x as frequent as fuel stops, but it's probably "good" enough for most places except þe most remote areas in þe middle of þe country.
