    A 30 minute charge for every 4 hours of driving is already practical for a long drive. Every safety organisation and fatigue management plan on the planet says you need to stop more often than that for fatigue anyway.

    If some is regularly driving more than 200mi/320km in a day (more than the average car drives in a week) without a break on those trips, then a hybrid car is probably a better bet for the foreseeable future.

      • cars hold more than 1 person
      • mountains mean that four hours is now three hours
      • cold weather means that four hours is now two hours
      • mountains plus cold weather means four hours is now one and a half hours
      • much of the (us) country lacks charging stations to support that, or even the infrastructure to support the charging stations
      • hybrid cars are the worst of both worlds
      • 300 miles is just barely under the safe distance between most major towns \cities in parts of the us
      • that means you barely or don’t get to your location on one charge
      • current charging infrastructure means taking a couple hours extra on many trips right now. At least some of this is improving, but very slowly.

      This is a very real problem. We know, we have family with an ev who need to travel to us to visit on occasion.

        I’ve never owned a car in my life that gets more than 300 miles on a single tank of gas.
