Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout
Wisely@lemm.ee 11 months agoThat and long distance travel are my concerns. Will I have to keep stopping for long charging sessions. Will there even be a charger on the route at all.
A third concern is how safe the lithium batteries are for charging, it would have to be inside my garage that is on the 1st floor. I guess it’s probably not too much of a concern but I worry about even leaving small lithium batteries charging unattended.

You could drive from New York to la in a model three with about twelve 30 minute stops. Given that it’s a multi day drive, you can even fold a charge or two into overnight parking. While that is more than a gas car, it’s not horrible.
New York to Miami is about six stops. I would have to stop around the same amount of times in my relatively fuel efficient ice (30 mpg), though (some) of the stops would be significantly shorter.

Tesla cars have a root planter built into it that will send you to the fast chargers along the way.
Some of the other newer non Tesla EVs do the same thing. There’s also a free app called a ‘better route planner’ that does this to for any car.
