I'm just curious if any EV owner has taken a 500 mile or more car trip somewhere, and if so, how it went.

It would be interesting to learn if they had the stamina to walk the entire way back home or if they were able to hitchhike back.I'm just curious if any EV owner has taken a 500 mile or more car trip somewhere, and if so, how it went.
I wonder how long the trips were and how stressful it is as the battery starts running down and what happens when your planned charging station is full or not open.I have friends that do often. Two of them are retired engineer's. They enjoy planning their trips. Both have Tesla Model 3's.

They take a long time to charge, too.I wonder how long the trips were and how stressful it is as the battery starts running down and what happens when your planned charging station is full or not open.

Home O popping off again with stories?
we know EV cars are not for you and you hate them,, but why would you ask such a dumb question,,,I'm just curious if any EV owner has taken a 500 mile or more car trip somewhere, and if so, how it went.
CE cars don't need any of that. You just fill up, take off and drive to your destination. Plenty of gas stations along the way and only minutes to fill the tank. If you're going somewhere less populated you can always carry your own gas. You can't do that in an EV. No calling 'another' unknown person to help you fill up either.I believe all that info is available beforehand.
There is also an app available that allows you to contact another EV owner and use their charger in an actual situation like that.
People are signed up all over the country.
are you saying no person has ever ran out of gas??CE cars don't need any of that. You just fill up, take off and drive to your destination. Plenty of gas stations and only minutes to fill the tank. No calling 'another' unknown person to help you fill up either.
Welcome to my world.Wow I receive a Fake News reaction for a joke. Tough crowd man.
only because theres not a stupid question option,,Welcome to my world.
My such a negative reaction to a reasonable question. Why so defensive?we know EV cars are not for you and you hate them,, but why would you ask such a dumb question,,,
its not a reasonable question,,,My such a negative reaction to a reasonable question. Why so defensive?
Translation: HOW DARE YOU ASK FOR SOMEONE'S PERSONAL EXPERIENCE IN A LONG TRIP WITH AN EV!!!!its not a reasonable question,,,
at this point there have probably been millions of cross country trips in evs,,,
I know someone that tried and failed recently.
No charging stations anywhere, they had to return to where they got the alleged "vehicle".
Never reached intended destination. Air fare, car rental, all for naught.
They were going less than 200 miles, too. Idk what the EV was.
Oh! One big problem is they didn't have some kind of adapter. (that they were supposed to)
