@zop @bruce @arstechnica ac/heating are very good points but hills and stop and go are actually not that bad for electric vehicles with recuperation.
But what I m asking is: why 300miles if that's a full day of driving at the extreme? Can't they just recharge for 30min between trips if the max typical is 150miles? 300miles - That's 6 hours+ of non stop driving...no toilet break?
Haven't lived in rural US myself, so interesting insights, thanks.
