OP, how long does it take you to go from empty to full charge? On our last trip we drove 605 miles home in one day. The beauty of diesel fuel is it only took one fill up to get home, which took a total of 15 minutes to get off the highway, fuel up, let the kids go to the bathroom, walk the dogs, make some sandwiches and get back on the highway.
Getting 150 miles per full charge would require starting full and then at least 3 stops. Driving up I95 on the east coast, you go through lots of rural areas and I can't image there are too many Tesla charging docks between larger towns.
Yah for sure. Diesel rules in situation like that. We drove a diesel for years. If you need to do that kind of distance then diesel will be king for a long time.
Sorry I’m not familiar with charging infrastructure in that part of the continent. We are in BC and infrastructure is pretty good.
A long day on the road for us is 4 hours and most days are shorter. We are usually on the road by 11 and off by 1 or 2 in the afternoon. And in answer to your question, a typical supercharger stop for us is 15 minutes.
Safe travels.
