It's not as bad as you think. Kind of nice to get out and walk around for 20 minutes every few hours anyways. It adds like 2 hours to my 24 hour drive up the east coast

I 2nd this. I get 230 miles per charge, so about 4 hours on the highway. I'm definitely ready to stretch my legs after that long. If I'm really trying to haul ass I just take a train or rent a gas car.

In day to day use, I only charge once a week at work for free. So free "gas," limited maintenance, and excellent reliability make for a perfect combination. I've had my EV for 3 years and I can't imagine going back to a gas vehicle.
