Tesla Road Trip

Here’s a video that answers the question: Given a Tesla’s range and the time it takes to charge it, how appropriate is it for road trips?

As readers know, I’m an EV enthusiast, but I grant that they’re not perfect, at least now, for every driving application.  My wife and I normally do about 9 hours per day in the car, with only short stops along the way, so even with fast charging, this wouldn’t be a happy experience for us.

But maybe we’re focusing on the wrong things here.  There are 25 million households in America with a car that commutes less than 100 miles a day.
