That does help, but I still don't need to take a 40 minute shit every 2 hours of driving. I think that is what he was referencing.

Please keep sharing your story, EV's are more of a hindrance on long endeavors then most people realize. Thanks
Dave's explanation describes the real problem. Who has time to hop skip and jump to every charging station, no matter how many there are. The range is not efficient enough.
I think that's a separate issued all together.
By the time they stop selling gas powered cars, the range on electrics will be significantly longer than today. There are limits for sure. The amount of available amps on one's breaker panel will be a limiting factor. I'm going to install a Clipper Creek American made charger that takes an 80 amp breaker, delivering sustained 64 amps to a car- even though my Mach-E will only be able to accept 48 amps, to get some future proofing.
The 64 amps that the new charger will deliver gives about 40 miles of range per hour of charging. Math tells us to get to say 500 miles of range, that would be 11.5 hours of charging at that level. Frankly, I don't want to ever drive more than 500 in a single day, which is right about the distance from my house to Las Vegas.
But the rub is the loss of range due to cold weather. Even though it's about 63* outside where I live right now, I understand some areas of the country are a little colder. If you lose 40% of your range due to temp, then add a bunch of hours to that charge time.
DC Fast Charging is a game changer, but there are a lot of limitations on how much the battery will accept at that level of power input.
It really will boil down to improving the power grid, and using utility scale batteries to level the load. There's an enormous market there, and companies will jump in to take advantage of it. It's the American way.
And right now it takes me 5 minutes to gas up.
So Shell is going to let me charge up for 3 hours and charge me $25 or $50 for the pleasure?
What happens when the powers out? Many stations today have back up generators to run the pumps.
Agreed. But those problems won't be fixed in the next 5 years for me to buy a Jag.
Um, because the politicians say so? I just hope we'll still be able to buy gas to run our old cars. Something tells me that when I inherit my dad's 1910 Model T (See Avatar) it just won't be the same if I have to do an electric conversion on it.
Did Shell happen to mention how they were going to power those 500,000 charging stations?
It’s a ways off still, but I’m curious how work vehicles that demand constantly being on will work.
Maybe I missed something about heavy duty (2500-3500) trucks being exempt, but my job requires my truck to be running almost 8 hours non-stop depending on what I’m doing.
I cant hang out in the middle of nowhere working, then get called an hour and a half away to fix something and run out of battery halfway there.
It’ll be interesting. For the foreseeable future there will still be new trucks, and a few years where those newest ICE trucks are sustainable. After that though...

I had a friend in HS who went around calling everything gay. He turned out to be gay. Maybe you are too.
I went through that phase too.
If giving out handys to dudes in bathroom stalls makes me gay, then so be it.
LMAO! Great plan, that is not even close to being executable.
Jesus H Christ.
And here folks, is the reason we are where we are... ****ing Cucks like this.
Obvious lie.
Yes... Your "friend" i gotcha
Giant diesel Generators.
Hahaha right ^^
I'm going to add to what you said. I expect technology to address the present EV deficiencies as we see them today. More chargers. Faster charging. Improved battery technology coupled with expanded ranges. Better electronics.
At this point I would never trade my fun-to-drive Genesis G70 for an EV. Zero interest. But the Green future at this point looks to be inevitable. As much as we might want to see the collapse of EVs, the momentum is to great and technology IS going to ensure their success. JMO!
It's pretty clear you're a loser who still lives with his mom. Anything constructive to say?
It’s ok if you’re gay, nobody cares.
Being gay and having a Mach e well, that’s different.
