Things is most European countries are smaller than the US many the size of one US state so makes sense until I can drive 600 miles on a single charge I'll keep buying a gas car because I can go 600 miles on one tank the US is just too large to recharge that often.
It's not as bad as you think. Kind of nice to get out and walk around for 20 minutes every few hours anyways. It adds like 2 hours to my 24 hour drive up the east coast
I 2nd this. I get 230 miles per charge, so about 4 hours on the highway. I'm definitely ready to stretch my legs after that long. If I'm really trying to haul ass I just take a train or rent a gas car.
In day to day use, I only charge once a week at work for free. So free "gas," limited maintenance, and excellent reliability make for a perfect combination. I've had my EV for 3 years and I can't imagine going back to a gas vehicle.
I had one it is as bad as it sounds actually worse know allot of people that got a electric car just to sell it over this.
