I just got back from a 1,200+ mile road trip. The first leg was 450 miles and my trip planner scheduled a 20 minute stop and a 15 minute stop. Yeah it’s a little longer than otherwise but really not much. Combine them with meals and it’s no delay at all
Edit: in an ICE car I would have made one of those stops and grabbed fast food, so the difference was 15 minutes. No big deal
Yup, I’ve had a lot of successful and pleasant long-distance EV trips as well! However they aren’t all like that because most people don’t live in a top-5 country travelling along routes as old as their country. I can’t wait until that doesn’t matter but the current infrastructure and tech just makes you sound like the kind of person that asks starving children why they chose to be born poor.
I this case I did assume US but also that most developed countries have at least as good EV infrastructure and many are much better. While half of my trip was urban areas with many more choices, the other half was rural and still not inconvenient
My guy, I live in California and even did stuff at the NUMMI factory before it made Teslas. EVs aren’t even a universal solution here yet, at the birthplace.

True, I assumed a developed country.
