    While true, it’s not really a problem with most current Gen EVs and typical travelers. But it is a problem with current infrastructure.

    Most people prefer to stop every 2 hours to use the restroom/etc. Let’s say it’s a 10 minute stop. They also want every other stop to be a food stop, let’s say 30 minutes.

    That’s more than enough to charge an EV, assuming the stops are at a convenient time. But it’s not yet common to find fast chargers at truck stops, nor are they near amenities like this, nor can the trip planning apps use this as the criteria for when to stop.

        Yeah, like, stopping every 2 hours? What? I’d be sooo done after doing this twice xD

        Most folk I know are trying to reach the target ASAP, with as little stopping as physically possible, even with kids. For context, I live in EU. Maybe it’s a culture thing…
