And that's about the same amount of time it takes to charge my Tesla to continue a long trip.


Have done that many times cross-country in the past few years.

It's not a problem.

And when I drive locally, I'm always charged from the night before, even using a 110 outlet in the garage.

I'd waste more time finding a gas station and gassing up every once in a while as well as wasting hours every bunch of months getting the gas car serviced and being told I need to have my headlights rotated.

So I figure having an EV actually SAVES TIME when driving local.
I agree with that logic. Plus at a bigger picture - less oil and gasoline usage means that the US is less dependent on the Middle East and other countries like Russia that HATE us.
........Plus the BIGGEST picture - less gasoline usage means less PLANET destroying Global Warming.
