Just get rid of the charging stations. It’s ridiculous that EV owners should expect to charge their cars anywhere but at home or at work.

    BEVs need to park for a while to get a substantial charge, not even full one. The fast chargers get Teslas to 80% in something like thirty minutes

    That’s why my point was “truck stop level gas station”. IE those huge gas stations off the highway, several in most cities… huge lots, and most importantly have at least one, sometimes a few restaurants inside. IE they are already designed as a good place for truckers to take a half hour to an hour to, re-organize themselves for a long trip. Not a totally unreasonable process for a road tripping family etc… to hit every 3-4 hours that an EV can drive.

    I can’t fully disagree on the potential of renting a car if it’s extremely infrequent to make long trips. Public transit would be nice, though gotta say there’s a lot of places where that’s pretty non-viable. Least from where I live the nearest bus station from me is about 30-45 minutes away by car.
