So these electric cars have a range of around 400 miles. I just drove 500 miles from Tucson to Newport Beach in 8 hours. How long would this same trip be in an electric car, considering the time to charge the battery? Would I have to spend the night somewhere enroute?
No. Add 20 minutes to 30 minutes for charging. And if you do that while you are using the facilities or grabbing a sandwich it takes no extra time.
We do 800 kilometre trips. Takes us the same amount of time it did in our Jeep Grand Cherokee. But we typically stop every few hundred kilometres to pee and grab a coffee or something to eat, and whenever we are stopped we are charging. If you are the type to do 800 kilometres at a shot then you should count on a 20 to 30 minute charge stop. Or longer depending on the car. Conditions etc.
