A hundred charges is nothing compared to a gas car. on a cross country drive one would fill the tank 3 or 4 times a day.

Lets say just around the house driving one fills up once a week that's a 2 year life for the E car. Their are lots of gas cars will over 10 years old.

Give me a E car that gets 400 miles per charge 10 min recharge and thousands of them.

Then one might considered one

I would fill up my Grand Cherokee with the 5.7L V8 about once a day on a cross country drive. 20 gallon tank.

If you have something like a VW Passat with the diesel and the 18.5 gallon tank, you would have about a 700 mile range, conservatively, before needing to fill up. And that’s with the EPA’s 40mpg highway number, which the VW’s tend to beat handily.

The new Nissan Altima would have excellent range as well with 38mpg highway and a 17.5 gallon tank.

Not sure what car would require 3 or 4 fill-ups a day to drive cross-country. Maybe a Ferrari?

Most common passenger cars would only need one fill-up a day as far as I can tell.
