Yeah, and I personally don't buy what he's putting down. He's 90 minutes away from San Fransisco and doesn't have anywhere he can charge without waiting for 45 minutes? I find that highly suspect. That'd put the trip distance at around 100 miles (assuming 70mph average). Which, unless you are literally driving an old Nissan leaf, you could comfortably traverse with basically all EVs on the market.

But further, in that 100 mile radius, there's EV chargers literally every 10 miles or less on all major roads.

Because the charge curve on basically all EVs starts high at a low state of charge, there's basically no reason he'd have to wait more that 5 or 10 minutes at a stop to continue on his trip. 45 minutes is absurd.

I say this as someone that lives in Idaho and makes 6 hour road trips relatively regularly. Even on my longest "without charger" stretches, the wait is roughly 20 minutes to get enough to get to the next charger.
