From a search online re AAA service:

“a quick charge in as little as 15 minutes, which will allow the vehicle to be driven up to 10 miles (depending on the vehicle)”

“heavy-duty pickup trucks with a generator that can add charge to the batteries and is run by the truck’s engine”

“a stand-alone generator in the back of the pickup, which will be powered by compressed natural gas. [These] trucks have Level 2 and DC fast-charging capability”

Found AAA’s “AAA-Electric-Vehicle-Range-Testing-Report.pdf”

Tx for the pic.

Doing the math - using the AAA PDF file:

https://www.aaa.com/AAA/common/AAR/files/AAA-Electric-Vehicle-Range-Testing-Report.pdf

as a reference, I find that 13.125 hours of AC Level 2 Charging, are required to sustain *real world 450 mile* daily (mostly highway) runs in 8 hours travel time. (Such as I can do now, with gasoline fuel.)

That, tells me that EV is short haul.

I am not satisfied that our country can safely and practically process the chemical and metal - battery problems - for as much as 20 percent EV presence on the roads.

And, we would need a lot of nuclear power.

And, we need an enormous amount of infrastructure pumping juice to charging stations, merely to sustain as much as 20 percent EV presence on the roads.
