Those things aren’t for long haul drivers. Full stop. If someone for whatever reason wants an EV and also wants to drive regularly on big road trips, they want a regular ICE instead or in addition.

It’d be interesting to see numbers on people’s real drives and how often they really do the road warrior runs. Last time I drove those 500, 600, etc. daily distances on a trip was 1999. Hated it. Not fun nor “vacation” at all, just tedious and tiring.

I guess I’m a long hauler. My job has me on the road a lot. I take too much gear to fly. 10 hour drives are common.

I’m at my mother in laws house today. It’s about 700 miles away. This trip was the first time we’ve ever broken it into two days.

I just order a camper top for my truck. When it gets built, we’ll drive from
Maryland to Washington to pick it up. 2500 miles each way. Far more freedom than riding in a flying bus.
