As for charging time, when we travel long distance I figure refueling time is at least 20 minutes. The time to exit the freeway, get in line at a gas station, fill up and be on my way.

so..... based on the advances in fast charging if the Gov't would change the laws around interstate rest stops and allow comercial activity, good chance I could pull into a rest stop, hook up, use the facilities, get a short rest and be on my way in about the same time it takes today to refuel.

Course naysayers will say "but power isn't available at the rest stops!" well true today, but I suspect if it was opened up just like with cell phone transmission auctions, companies and power companies would be lining up to bid.

BTW I've been to europe, The rest stops in europe are DECADES AND MILES AHEAD OF US. nice rest stops, restauarants, fuel, and other stuff all in one stop.

I suspect the rules on no comercial activity on US. interstate rest stops was just a way to placate cities that were being bypassed by interstate to get people to stop in the city.

Just like when unleaded fuel became a requirement, all the sudden it happens and "fueling" will be as easy or easier than today AND I'll be able to avoid trips to the "gas" station most of the time by recharging at home.
