My point is that every one says "Just stop and get a bite to eat or shop a bit until the car is charged up". What if there's 2 people ahead of you, each takes 20-30 minutes, so that's an hour before it's your turn, and now you've spent 1 1/2 hours getting "refueled". What do you do for that amount of time.
I'm sure there are more charging stations, but there are tons more gas stations, and people still wait inline, but the wait time is measured in minutes, not hours. And since this is an RV forum, we are talking about traveling where you may not be able to charge up at home, and the campground may not be set up to do that either. So you "fuel up" on the road. Hence my question about what you do when you can't immediately pull up to the charger.
I agree, decades if ever, before electric would match ICE for long distance travel.But you look south on I 29 at any time of the day. A large percentage of the cars you see never leave the metro area, and the ones that do don't do often.
When I was a kid mother would send a postcard to her grandfather to let him know what day I would ride the train to Kingston, so he could pick me up. (When I got to house call home, collect person to person to myself. Mom refuse call, but know I made it.) Been a long time since passenger trains ran that way. But for years it was it has nothing to make the drive. Now a E car could make it with no issue other than maybe need a charge before start back.
