Are you gonna drive 2000 miles straight through or get a hotel?
I did 1800 miles straight through twice, once with three drivers and once with five and both were pretty rough. Would not repeat. Almost had a driver fall asleep at the wheel the second time and I didn’t get to nap after my last turn at the wheel because of it.
If you’re doing it alone, subtract an hour a day for hotels. If you are with a group, then I think some of the other people are right: you’re going to stop more often and for longer than you think you are. Half an hour every three hours will keep you at above half your range and wouldn’t be so bad.
For the MOST EXPENSIVE electric vehicle, that probably will not actually get the rated 400 mile range, I have to spend an hour+ to get a full charge to go the full capacity. Now, we need to split up long road trips even more. Better hope that hotel has a recharging spot. If not, more wasted time.
Or I could just buy a corolla for 20-50% the price, get insanely good gas mileage, fill up when needed in under 5 minutes (enough for a bathroom break).
Electric cars don't ever come close to paying for themselves. That's why you only hear about these cars on HN or in SV - only rich people can afford them and their inconveniences.
On a 2000 mile trip, that's an extra 5 hours of travel time. I'd much rather be at the beach than at Rest Stop X in the middle of nowhere for an hour.
