Some days i drive 500 to 600 miles when i have a job following a semi truck that is carrying a wide load
When i drive from San Diego to El Paso i leave at 9 AM & get there at 9 PM. That can't be done with a normal size Electric vehicle
If you are charging an electric vehicle while on a trip
You would have to stop before the battery is below 10 or 15 %
It will take 20 minutes to quick charge the battery to 80%
You won't be able charge more than 80%, because there will be a dozen other cars needing a charge
I foresee vocal & physical arguments
I just had a brain fart, you know how truck stops have 4 to 6 aisles of Diesel Pumps & maybe the same number of aisles for gas pumps.
It won't be long before they will have 8 to 10 aisles with 230 volt power stations
