A similar article by another writer was posted a couple hours ago. Here’s my comment:
I drove 3800 miles for work in September. 3816 to be exact. Most of that was pulling a trailer, which we’ll forget about for this.
Assuming the Hummer actually does get 300 miles per charge and that I used the 24 hour charger, 12.6 days would be spent charging. In other words, 40% of the time would be spent waiting for my battery to charge.
3800 is a little heavy for me but not by much.
EV mandates will force me to lose my current job. Great idea
And battery technology traditionally improves at a snail’s pace, at best. The EV future looks bleak.
Let’s talk about realities. If you are traveling put of town you are going to use supercharging which puts charging time down to an hour or two depending on how much you charge. The battery onuodel 3 will charge to 80 percent in 30 minutes...then thae last 20 percent takes another half hour. So you adjust your strategy to charge a little more often but 9nly to 80 percent.
It is also true that you loose 2/3 of you mileage capabilities if you are towing. EVs suck at.towing.
