90 sats \ 3 replies \ @0xbitcoiner 6 Mar \ on: The Long-Range EV Boom Has Arrived charts_and_numbers
In my case, considering that around 80% of my car journeys are short distances, the range and charging time of electric cars have always made me hesitant to buy one.
how much range would you need to feel comfortable?
one benefit that most people don’t realize right away is that home charging means never having to go charge at some EV station.
quite possible to go months - in some cases years - without ever needing to go charge somewhere away from home.
overnight charging gives most EV owners more than enough energy to do their daily drives.

It's not uncommon to drive 600 miles in a single stretch during the holidays, but it's less common during the rest of the year, though it still happens. There are still not many fast charging stations available.

Fwiw, the EV chargers are usually at places you'd want to take breaks on long trips anyway. Plug in, stretch your legs, and grab a bite to eat.
