    <<“Oh i forgot to plug in my EV after a long drive, guess i will have to wait some hours”.

    On a lot of models its like 20 minutes to charge up to 80% and typically by businesses where I can grab groceries/food/coffee. Charging tech got good a few years ago.

    The only thing I’m still leery of is long trips to national parks since something like Yellowstone has limited charging nearby. It exists, but probably more EVs looking to charge than available spots.

      You brought up another point: For longer trips charging stations is not easy to find ( definitly not in my region ).

        Really depends on the region. People have done plenty of cross country trips with them, but yeah if you’re out west or Midwest there are plenty of areas where you’ve got 60+ miles between chargers.

        Like I CAN plan a trip around the stops, but I’ll stick to gas for long trips until you no longer have to.
