“With a regular internal-combustion car, I can refuel, use the restroom, and grab a cup of coffee in under fifteen minutes; and can drive in excess of 400 miles before I have to do it again.”
We regularly travel 250+ miles to visit Mrs. Riverdawg’s family. There is only one Tesla supercharger on the way, and it is really 20 miles out of the way. There are 10 superchargers in a row in a shopping center parking lot in our town, but there is nothing to do nearby while recharging except wander through a Best Buy or Dick’s Sporting Goods. So, an all-electric car is infeasible for us, other than use as a city car, until more charging infrastructure is in place.
I agree. I wouldn’t buy an electric car until more infrastructure for charging is in place.
I think the hybrid cars I’ve heard about, seem like a fine idea, since they run off of both electric and gasoline.
I might consider a hybrid, but never an all-electric. T just isn’t practical for the kind of driving I like it need to do. And, as you point out, the infrastructure isn’t anywhere near what it needs to be. If I am out in the boondocks, I can still find gasoline.
