An EV does not have to stop for hours to recharge at a high-current charger. Tesla’s Superchargers can have the drivers on their way in as few as 15 minutes.

It is my understanding that, faster charging of a battery makes it age faster and leads to charges that don't last as long.

That's supposedly, from what I've read, to get around 80% charge, which means stopping more frequently to recharge, and, like I said and according to what I've read, the battery ages faster and leads to more frequent stops and faster depletion of the smaller charges.

But still, how many 'superchargers' does Tesla have on the road, and how convenient are they to get to? Some of the power in a battery would be wasted just getting to an inconvenient charger location, if one is anywhere close.

Daughter has the new winged three row Tesla. X Talked to them about recharging. The strategically situated Tesla speed charging stations will give them an 80% recharge in 50 minutes. So, for example, if running between two cities that are outside the maximum range of 295, they set their route for having a recharge and lunch about 200 miles from their destination.

Drive for four hours, eat lunch and recharge, drive for three hours and they are home. The thing is gimmicky so the kids love it. The acceleration can be blinding if you floor it.
