I hear the roads are very twisty. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jan 16, 14:48
Sure. Everything is within 200 miles. But it takes another 200 miles to get home. -- nm - Loyola Jan 16, 14:42 11
- So you charge when you get where you're going. Or are you immediately turning around? -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:45 10
  - I’d be surprised if EVs took off in America/Canada to the same extent as Norway. - Loyola Jan 16, 14:49 7
    - point being, that's not a realistic version of travel. - Reagen Jan 16, 14:52 6
      - Fair point regarding battery progress. I look forward to it. -- nm - Loyola Jan 16, 14:55 5
        
        I fully admit, unless I am *traveling* my goal would be to never charge except at night when I am home. - Spawn Jan 16, 15:14 4
        
        but that's basically the same with ICE vehicles. distance travel is always going to be the biggest challenge -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 16, 15:21 3
        
        With my daily commute and normal daily driving an EV that gets the distance is not affordable yet. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 15:27 2
        
        the longer you drive, the more affordable it is. -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 15:30 1
        
        Oh, I know. I have worked the numbers. They are getting closer each year and I am hopeful my next car can bEV. -- nm - Spawn Jan 16, 15:41
  - (ireland looks absolutely peppered with charging stations from a quick look at the map) -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:47 1
    - and a bunch of 350kW stations! That's an ~8 min charge time, there, from "empty". -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:53
