I’ve driven over 1,000 miles down the east coast without too much inconvenience.
It’s not just that people don’t really take as many road trip ps as they claim, but also a lot of them are quite doable. Of course we need a lot more infrastructure, but we do have a usable amount in many places. Of course a lot of geography is underserved, but that’s a small percentage of the population
For sure, infrastructure gets built out over time and least populated areas probably are last. But, pulling numbers out of my ass, if a third of the us has their own house and lives near a city or coast, at least a third of our vehicles could conveniently be EV already, and that number just increases over time
I had intended to reply to the person above you and deleted my post. sorry.
You are absolutely correct in your assessment though. We can travel from Tijuana, Mexico all the way to Canada on the 5 in our remaining EV with no issues actually. Sure, it requires planning where to stop to find a level 3 charger. but it’s doable.
Traversing the continent laterally is where EVs just fall short currently though and why we opted to get a hybrid.
