Tesla batteries take 8-12 hours on a home charger, an hour on a 50kW Tesla fast charger, and a half hour on a 120kW super charger.

But using the fast chargers will shorten battery life.

Also: What happens during a blizzard or hurricane evacuation, when thousands of cars are stuck between cities, and all the EVs go flat?

A “road ranger” truck on the shoulder can give a gallon or 2 of gas to the stopped ICE cars and they are on their way. What happens to the EVs with dead batteries?

This will not be amusing. It should be part of the discussion.

As my irony loving hubbie was wont to say:
“Aw, details!”

We load dead ev’s up and haul them to a charging station.

Motorclubs hate it but I am not sitting on the side of a freeway running a generator for an hour to give them a chance at making it to a charging station.

The EV fluffer will be along to set your thinking to politically correct.

You will do what we tell you to do, Citizen. No discussion allowed.
