No, I’ve road tripped around the country with both types of vehicles. It’s delusional. And I’m not anti-EV by any means, I like them, but when you do need to use public charging, it sucks.

The charger may be right on the on your route, which is nice, but it often isn’t. If it’s five minutes out of the way, that’s an extra 10 minutes on my trip +20 minutes of charging. That’s a half hour where a gas station would’ve been three minutes. There are a good amount of times when it is more than five minutes away.

That’s extremely common and even supposes the chargers are available, I remembered to pre-condition the battery, etc. all of those are not given.

And for preservation of battery life you’re really operating with 60% of the stated capacity because you’re keeping it between 20 and 80 all the time. So a 250 mile range is really 150. I have had it happen where I drive two hours, spend a half hour charging, rinse, repeat on a road trip.
