Do you live somewhere in the east where states are close together? If I want to travel across my state, I'd have to plan a recharge somewhere along the way for nearly any electric vehicle. To fill up with gas would take ten minutes; as far as I can tell, any EV is going to take >30 minutes. Not saying that's a gating factor, but it's certainly something to consider. Likewise in states with more continental weather, t…
I live in California, the largest state in the continental US. I know people that routinely travel in EVs between Mendocino county and San Diego county. Roughly the distance between NY and Georgia. As far as the cold goes, somehow Norway is dealing with it, given they have the highest ratio of EVs of any country at this point. The battery tech is also catching up to this, and charge times in general, at least in Chin…
I would assume they are forced to recharge multiple times over that distance, which might be fine - you'd have to refill with gas/petrol over that distance as well, but the difference between 10 minutes verses an hour or so unless I'm really missing both the range and time to recharge for EVs.
