For long road trips I'd rather have a car with less range but significantly faster charging. I don't like to take a lot of 30-45 minute stops; I'd prefer to stretch my legs, do my business, and get back on the road with a 15 minute stop.I wonder about road trips and range? Is range really a big deal considering I’m the GV60 can go from 10% to 80% charge in 18 minutes. I believe Straight Pipes pulled it off in 16 via DC fast charging…
Hyundai/KIA are figuring it out. 235/250/300, does it really matter that much if you can charge in 15 minutes, 10 minutes?
It’ll get there, and they are close now.
Look, I have no clue what my Stringer GR gets per fill.When low I just fill it up, who cares about range because filling is a trivial amount of time.
do the same with EVs and range won’t matter so much if charging is reduced to”irrelevant” timelines.
how long will it take to charge a Mach-e 10% - 80%? At least 1-2 hours?…
Right there I’ve be road tripping in the GV60, and in quiet luxury ta boot.
If most of my trips were short enough that a single battery charge could make it, then obviously a car with more range makes a difference.
