But the point is, that scenario won't happen with an EV, because IF you plug in whenever you get home, you're always topped off and you don't need to find a place to charge.
People are still thinking like it's an ICE. It's not.
I know some of you drive 200+ miles in a day. But for the rest of you, reasonably, how many days a year would you actually make use of a supercharger? Let's put this conversation in context.
I was more concerned for someone going to intercity travel for example sanfran to Los angeles or nyc to lake placid routes in which although are not interstate still are large distances approx 5 hours or so. On the 1 percent of trips in which you exceed the range of your car the average consumer/non tesla enthusiast will simply expect to charge with relative non interruption. You and i bonnie know that currently it requires just a tad more intelligence and research to understand the needs of a ev. The problem lies in our relationship in which we have had with vehicles for the past 40 years. Do i mind waiting 10 minutes for a charge? Nope i probably spend more time in meaningless things anyway. But for others it could be this 'big pain"
