- 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

  - and a bunch of 350kW stations! That's an ~8 min charge time, there, from "empty". -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 14:53
