MODERATORS
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.
Megawatt is so useless doe
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
I managed to hit some v4 superchargers on my most recent trip, and 20 minutes from 14-78% was refreshing.
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.
