While charging times on a road trip will take longer than refueling with gas, if road trips are not something you do frequently then it may not be an issue. Since you have an SUV already and are looking at another SUV, I will assume a sedan will not meet your needs. There are several fully electric SUVs available now and more coming next year.
Just read my latest car and driver magazine. Their long term Tesla has about 21,000 miles and the battery is down 7% capacity already probably from the quick charging. Also the cost of the quick charge stations works out to the equivalent of $8 a gallon. I don't look forward to electric vehicles!
