    So under certain scenarios, you may have to find a place to charge and spend 1-2 hours charging it every 3-4 hours when traveling on the highway? I know a couple of sales guys that drive something like 100k-150k (I can't remember exactly) a year. In their case, they would have to charge roughly 750 times in one year, which is ~750-1500 hours of charging time per year, which is up to ~28 hours of charging per work week. I know this is not the target audience for this product, but to be fair, both of these people currently drive trucks because they are hauling things.

    EDIT: Doing the math, it may have been 100-150k for TWO years, so cut my estimates in half. That is still a TON of time charging though.
