What is driving cross-country in an EV like?

6000 miles @ 70 mph avg = 85 hrs
54 charging stops @ an avg of 39 minutes = 35 hrs
85 hrs driving, 35 hrs waiting, 54 stops!

Don't drive a non-Tesla EV across the country.

Is there such thing as a wrecker type service, except you charge a stranded EV to like 10% to get them to the next charging station? Seems like there might be money in that

Those people would never drive across country. Flying is faster but I enjoy driving everywhere for convenience, minus the kids when they act a fool. EV is not for me.

no, but they do produce power when rolling so if towed by a regular tow truck, it self charges as it rolls, but the amount is marginal so you would have to tow it for hours to get to 10% power levels from that

You think there are enough retarded people who drive without electricity to sustain this business?

They need swappable batteries. Kind of like propane exchange. Just roll in and swap empty battery for a full one.

My BIL dropped 106K on an Audi EV. They live in the ATL while I live in Birmingham. They ALWAYS drive my sister's 2015 Mercedes SUV when visiting even though its ~3 hours away. Dumbest big ticket purchase ever.

That's why I still drive a diesel. It's like 10 hours to SWLA from N. Alabama...I fill up at Buc-ees in Athens and then make a stop in Meridian. If I am by myself, that's likely my only stop. I could make it all the way to Hattiesburg or Slidell, but I like the truck stop in Meridian, MS.

It still isn't bad but the Tesla experience is much easier. Did DC, to gulfport, to Austin with an S and an X. It was super easy and we didn't waste hardly any time at all charging

350KW charging speeds things up. A tesla cybertruck charges from 15% to 80% in 20 minutes. Still probably annoying on a long trip but much better than before.

Nonsense. Just bring a good book and a comfy lawn chair.
You might make that 2 good books.

Not really.
An EV is perfect for someone living/commuting in a metro area.
It's not ideal for long road trips.
Most families have multiple vehicles. Once ICE and one ev (or hybrid) makes sense.

Yeah, I just cannot imagine a road trip with so many stops and so much time waiting for the EV to charge. Not to mention the anxiety of finding a place to charge before it goes dead or having to plan the trip around available charging stations. Way too much work, frustration, and time. It all sounds miserable.

Probably like waiting at the DMV. Only over and over and over and over and over and over...
