We're talking about people taking long rural trips -- stopping at a 50kw charger adds 50% of time to an 8 hour trip -- nobody driving a gasoline car would stop for that long. You'd need a 250kw charger to do what a person would normally do on a trip like that -- stop, piss, stretch your legs and get some fast food. Nobody who drives that route wants a 4 hour layover at the Speedee Mart gas station in Ainsworth, Nebraska -- if they can get the charger to work.
You're shifting goal posts now.
But yeah those 10 people that regularly drive those routes should probably stick with their ice vehicles.
Nah, at no point above did I mean "fast charger" as in "sit at a gas station for 4 hours at a 50kw charger"
8 hours. That’s about 900km right?
You’d need about 135 kwh total energy at 15kwh/100km efficiency. Assuming you leave with full battery - thats about 60kwh or a bit over an hour of charge at 50kw.
