I've driven from Portland to Santa Clara and back twice in my EV. The first time, I actually planned my charging stops and made a spreadsheet of expected charging times and actual charging times. The first time I did the trip, for each 665 mile leg, I spent about 75 minutes charging, which certainly gives more charging time per mile than your estimate, but it's also because I wanted to arrive at my destination with 80%, and also I gave ABetterRoutePlanner pessimistic numbers regarding my range, and as a result, was charging at higher SoC's than planned. Still though, even with the poor planning, I spent literally zero minutes sitting in the car waiting for it to charge. A year and a half ago, I drove from Portland to San Diego and back. 2,200 miles. I had zero complaints about charging times. I did have some minor range anxiety last year driving around Yellowstone, since I'd only have access to a charger at the start and end of my day. Just had to remind myself that I wasn't really driving THAT far throughout the day, and that the driving I WAS doing was going to be relatively slow. |
