My first EV was a LEAF and this was a genuine concern due to the 80-90 mile range. DW has and still has a gasoline vehicle. However once the EV was in the garage the gasser saw less and less miles. Once you have decent range of 200+ miles this really falls away as a concern. You will get home with plenty of range unless you are way out someplace.What do you guys do when you just pull in from work, and the battery is just about dead, and then your wife screams "the baby is coming!". ? Ambulance I guess right?
I am asking cause I want to buy an EV, but have some concerns about long distance vacations( how many charging stations available in the desert?) And emergency situations. How do you guys handle that?
Long distance vacations I try to fly. Have driven a gasser 750 miles in a day and it is a real chore. Would take two day minimum for me in an EV. One level 3 charge for an hour would be enough to call it the day for me. So a 300 mile range car maybe 450 miles max per day. The country is well covered in fast charging except for a couple spots and they should be covered soon. Very close to having charging up to Alaska at this point. Gets a bit slim though Montana/Dakotas and a dark patch up 93 from Vegas to Twin Falls.
