“Too bad you didn’t watch the video.”

Did watch it, and outside of selling the shirts below the actual Utube screen, he didn’t say a whole lot about the mechanics of the trip other than he traveled less than the amount when he got to the hotel.

The information I found and posted was from people who do this type of evaluation for a living. Everything I put down was about the actual question of whether “Can An Electric Car Travel 1,000 Miles In A Day?”

Using the numbers I found, unless you are allowed to make up a little over an hour with speed, no. The charging times are way too long to provide enough wiggle room in time to do it and with traffic under normal conditions it would not allow the 162 mph top speed for gaining on time. And the cops wouldn’t be pleased either. And the numbers I used were optimal, best charging times with exceptional systems yo9u won’t be lucky enough toe find the whole trip, and the cops went to sleep a little.

In 1975 my father and wife took off from south Fresno in California and drove to MacDill AFB in Florida on a Friday morning and arrived art the front gate of MacDill at 9 p.m. on Sunday. That’s 2665 miles in around 60 hours, two and a half days, stopping for gas, food and getting occasional sleep in the car by the other driver so it could stay moving. And that’s without charging times.

It’s just numbers to show someone’s proof of the question. I believe in facts more than opinions.
