Not until they can come up with one that will go at least 300 or more miles between charges.

That is still not viable. You are still thinking in terms of going 300 miles and getting your energy "fix" by filling your tank in 2 or 3 minutes before resuming the trip. When you have exhausted the 300 mile range, you will have to stop your travel for 4-6 hours minimum before having a go at the next 300 mile increment. The trip I make from Pocatello to San Diego is 927 miles. I can do that in 3 stops before a fillup at the destination. It's a 15 hour drive with a gasoline powered car. The electric would add another 24 hours of end to end time to allow for the recharge intervals.

At my age,if I drive 300 miles from home, then stopping for a few hours rest wouldn't be so bad!

:)

But I understand what you mean.
