I notice that all ev commercials show the ev driving into the mountains or forest where charging is not available. So let’s assume we buy an EV in LA and drive it to the desert for a day of fun. We tow a trailer with our electric recreation vehicles. We drive the 100 miles to the desert and ride all day till our batteries run out. Push them back on the trailer and head home. Maybe we get there but more likely we find we have to locate a charger half way home. Now our day of fun has turned into 18 hours...6 of those charging our car or truck. We get home at 2 am so we can charge our car and commute to work starting at 6 in the morning. Sounds like fun to me...
If you own a pickup ypu can carry a gasoline generator and run it while you charge and drive at the same time.
“.6 of those charging our car or truck.”
However, we can give you an approximate charging time if you have a dead Tesla battery and need a full charge.
Here are the estimated Tesla charging times:
Level 1 (120 V): 20 to 40 hours
Level 2 (240 V): 8 to 12 hours
Level 3 (480 V): 15 to 25 minutes
“I notice that all ev commercials show the ev driving into the mountains or forest...”
You’ll also notice on “green” commercials, generally you see the charger “nozzle” ONLY being removed and returned to the charger station just as a gas nozzle would be returned to the pump. It looks so easy and innocent. BUT, we know that plug was in that car for at least a half hour...maybe even hours...before the plug was finally pulled out. The idiots out there will see that commercial and think it’s just effortless to “fuel up” an EV...we need to buy one to save Mother Earf.
