My question about non-hybrid EV's is how you go about taking a long trip. If the range is 250 miles and you're gonna drive 600 miles in a day, is it reasonable to expect people to be willing to stop twice for hours to recharge their battery?
I can see people making 400-500 mile trips in a Tesla with a two hour pit stop combining food and fuel. Otherwise, long distance trips will take 50% to 70% more time and the range anxiety is very real. EV's are great for commuting, nothing more.
