They are amazing on a road trip as they do almost all of the work. Unless you are a real cannonballer, the car ends up waiting for you, not the other way around. And what's really nuts is that our car has a 255 mile range (down from 270 after 60000 miles) and it's still fantastic for road tripping. Drive a couple of hours, get a splash of juice, then a couple more, it's a delightful way to travel. On an 800 mile run in one day you're looking at 1/2-1 hour more in total time.
