Camping in an EV.... Always charging...
So here is the start of the FLT driving from Sacramento to Ak in their electric F150 Lighting. Just a few observations from me: #1. To put a "canopy" on a truck and calling it a camper is a joke...

I didn't think it took that long to charge at charging stations. At one point in the video he is below 25% (I think) and it takes 45 minutes to get to 80%? At that point he gives up and continues driving. And again later in the video he charges just about to 80% and then says "Good enough" and starts driving. Is there something about charging to 100% that I missed?
I understand that there are differences in charging stations, but I assume the big fancy chargers are the fastest ones? Something about "superchargers"?
This makes me want to time how long to fill my gas truck. Next time I'm at 1/4 tank I will try to remember to time it. Usually seems to be under 5 minutes.
He also commented that going through some hills (mountains?) he really drained the battery.
The "auto drive" is interesting.
Oh, I lol'd about him adding that little air deflector. I was skipping through the video.... did that actually help at all?
