Electric Vehicles are a key part of our tomorrow and how we get there. If we can get all the fossil fuel vehicles off our roads, out of our seas and out of our skies, we'll have a much better environment. This community is where we discuss the various different vehicles and news stories regarding electric transportation.

allow longer road trips with fewer charge stops. For instance you could drive from SF to San Diego without worry.

Why worry if there are chargers every couple of miles? Of course it can be a small inconvenience to do a break if you don't need one at all, but it's not like you have to stop every hour.

Because it takes 3 minutes to fill a car back up, so long range isn't needed.

There are numerous EVs already that can recharge more than 600 miles of range per hour of charging. Thus, having a 20 minute break every 3-4 hours of driving is sufficient. And from my perspective filling a car with fuel also takes more than 3 minutes if you count in the payment etc. If you anyhow need to visit the toilet, you're car is ready to go again.
