I have never had an issue with either of those things. On road trips, there are plenty of fast ev chargers these days. And my EV already goes 320mi on a full charge. You don't want to sit at max charge for long anyway. I only charge to 50% and haven't had much range anxiety. Realistically it's better than gas, because at home it charges overnight (even to 100%).

Charging on road trips at a fast charger takes as long as a quick trip to the bathroom and grabbing a bite to eat.

Sounds nice. In much of the US it's not at all that easy to find fast chargers and longer lasting and quicker charging batteries would significantly help EV adoption here.

Out of curiosity, have you tried? Genuinely asking. Because I thought the same before I caved and bought mine. I've now gone on multi-thousand mile road trips with no issues. But I acknowledge there are places that need more chargers.

The answer is always no. I just want to know who these people are that wake up, get in their truck, tow their boat 800 miles every single day are.

They don't exist, they would just rather inconvenience themselves 364 days a year to shave an hour off a long trip one day a year.

It's absurd.

That's kind of what I was getting at, thanks.
