I have experience with 2 different non-Tesla electric cars, one was pretty solid in an area with the fast charging stations, the other was a mid-range vehicle and charging took hours. At this stage I wouldn't buy one.

Wow, the future really is awe inspiring, and it definitely makes me a better person than you as I drive around in my eco car because my commute is helping save the planet.

Coal is so much cleaner than gas. Let's join hands and celebrate the future!

I'm more of a bunker oil user to power my transportation, but I've got to respect coal. Nothing shameful about something that causes so much cancer.

unless those are giant parking lots with charging stations and large mini-malls, I don't see people traveling and using those. hours to charge = less room to charge for everyone else, so it could be people pushing cars to chargers if one is actually available.

The original article is a shameless straw-man - rating standard electric vehicles for time-sensitive extended road trips is like explaining how your toothbrush took too long while scrubbing out your pig pen.

So you're agreeing that electric vehicles are sub-par and can't be relied upon for a typical vacation or road trip?
