That's not as bad as I thought. Do you still have to plan your route out to make sure you have a charger available? Do you ever get stuck waiting for someone to finish charging?
I usually end up going 1,000 miles or so in a single day. Maybe stop to get gas 2 or 3 times for a couple minutes each time. Ends up being 13-16 hours, so try to keep the refueling to a minimum so it doesn't carry over into another day.
Not sure how I could charge in my family's rural area or if they would even want me using their electricity even if it could use a regular outlet.
Ideally I think I would prefer some sort of simple battery swap. Also would need another company, I wouldn't buy a Tesla just because of Elon.
Tesla cars have a route planner built into it that will send you to the fast chargers along the way.
Some of the other newer non Tesla EVs do the same thing. There's also a free app called a 'better route planner' that does this to for any car.
