Like range anxiety is their irrational fear???
12 times in 1500 miles? I’d have to stop that many times just to empty my bladder.
Oversized electric golf kart fanbois will not be amused by this denigration of their fetish.
Electric Golf Carts make complete sense. An electric car as an in-town errand runner... That makes sense too. But any distance travel, off road, back country, hard pass from me.
“from Michigan to Florida”
A two way trip I hope 😏
“Oversized electric golf kart fanbois...”
And they should be along directly
12 stops for fuel, ranging from 20-55 minutes. Assume the average would be 37.5 minutes. Wasted 7.5 hours fueling the vehicle!! For an ICE, 12 stops at 5 minutes a stop = 1.0 hours fueling.
EVs are not designed to replace ICE vehicles. Their sole purpose is to provide an excuse to BAN ICE vehicles forcing an end to freedom of movement. You will not be allowed to own an ICE vehicle, you cannot afford an EV, therefore you must move to a dense urban environment giving up all freedom of movement (just to name one of the freedoms that is being taken from us).
Anyone who is honest knows that EVs are a liberal fad. The SCIENCE proves EV lithium batteries are highly destructive to the environment, far more than ICE vehicles. At best an EV is a short distance, in-town commuter car. EVs are the compact fluorescent cars of today. I’ll wait for a hydrogen car from Toyota.
Yup.
"But any distance travel, off road, back country, hauling or towing hard pass from me."
Indeed, with additions.
Wait until 1 million of the damn things are on the road. Blackouts and road boulders.
They should have tried Michigan to Seattle. That would have been SERIOUS range anxiety
An ICE vehicle wouldn’t stop 12 times for refuelling..................

I guess that would give the charge stations a monopoly on bathroom and food services. Poop N’ Charge.
I recall reading about an adult brother and sister duo who did the same thing late last summer, and having much the same results. It should be clear by now, an electric only car, as it exists today, is not fit for long term driving.
That should no longer be a big surprise.
They Need ‘D’ cells in them!
But it doesn’t take you 2-3 hours to take care of that.
My buddy won’t take his Tesla more than 50 miles away from battery anxiety. He drives his wife’s F150 for trips.
