true. resting each 2-4 hours is nonsense. a solid 8 hour drive and u get to sleep at ur own regular bed time beats them all. Evs need double the mileage (thus double the battery capacity and charging speed) so they could achieve this. other than that, it is just a car for vegans.

ShittyRedditWasBetter@lemmy.world 1 year agoIt’s double the recommendation in a best case scenario. It’s 4x as long a wait if you have to get in a queue.
I’ve never had a rest stop that takes more than 10 minutes and that’s if I have my toddler and wife.
If you want to stay forcing some drive time limits on people go ahead and try. But saying YOU get tired so everyone else must only be able to handle 2 hours at a time is insane. I’d be far far more tired showing up to my destination after an extra hour or two off driving and probably getting dark at that time.

how about you recognize that you use case is very much in the minority and covered by alternative solutions like Hydrogenation powered cars?
sure you might want a car with 1000 km range and you can get that along with semi-trucks you can hop on the Hydrogen platform , but statistics show that the vast majority of driving people do is well within the ranges of current BEVs, so why make all cars carry around all that extra weight, the expensive batteries when the vast majority of it won’t ever be used?

hydrogen is costly: it requires 44kwh of electricity to produce 1kg of H2, and that translates to 80km of mileage. while a 100kwh electric battery give u 300km mileage. also how much does a battery cost: 100$/kwh, ie 10k$ for 100kwh pack. i would gladly pay an extra 10k$ to have double the battery size, if just companies stopped being greedy and implementing stupid features like fast 0-60 acceleration, that eats up on mileage, and snake oil braking energy regeneration, and trunk aero spoiler for extra 10km mileage, for the price tag of 1k$ or god knows how much…i would gladly ride my pack at 110kmh with no brutal accelerations, and it would get me to almost everywhere i go. i shouldnt be needing a sepratae car to access remote areas, or always have to be anxious about range.

snake oil regenerative braking
da fuck.
i shouldnt be needing a separate car to access remote areas, or always have to be anxious about range. minority ? hmm, well not everyone lives in the G7 countries, so we dont have a supercharger in each 100km radius. probably there are 5 or 6 V1 tesla chargers in 150k km² surface area where i am now
How often do you go to these remote areas? how many of these areas are out of reach from you on a full charge?

I call BS. I have given diaper changes to my kids on the road that take more than 10 minutes. I won’t even mention lunch breaks, dinner breaks mid morning snack breaks, pooping breaks etc.

Diaper changes are a 45 second affair, 3 minutes of us a mess, and we’re post that personally. We’re in and out and have our own food packed. I commonly don’t need to use the rest room and do the wife will take care of everything while I hang out at the pump and pick her up. 5 minutes.
Not everyone lolygags around
