I've driven exclusively electric cars at home for the last three years. While they certainly make me happier on a day-to-day basis, longer trips are much more stressful.

I look forward to the day of common 1000 volt architectures and megawatt charging.

    I take a 6 hour trip twice a month with my EV. It really isn't bad because I know where to stop. But the first few times was stressful just because there isn't the abundance of chargers.

    But also there were two times I've had to wait for a charger and that really sucka.

    I will say, for me, charging speeds are fast enough. Make everything 150+ kw and more of them at each location, and I think thats good enough for 90% of road trips.

    Plugin hybrid is great for road trips. Ev only standard days and had for road trips

    That said the latest Gen with 80% charging in like 10 minutes is crazy good. Once there are more chargers like that sounds it will make ev only just as quick as gas fill up
