Move 3 to 5 because I didn’t know better yet and I’m with you. I’ve got two other vehicles, a 1950’s tractor, a house, and long gravel road to maintain. My car needed to be one less thing to have to deal with.

I can only provide the scenario that we’re presented with this week. US Thanksgiving road trip.

We could have taken a longer (distance) route with the same ETA to use my Ioniq 5 with two stops and a EV friendly hotel, but the hotel was more expensive, less kid oriented, and didn’t include breakfast. So basically negated any cost savings even when ignoring the kid part. That then means that the two other stops to charge at EAs that will likely have a line during the holiday period are all for nothing. Even if they are both open and working, the stops would be longer since there’s no food near them and all three of us are pretty quick on just bathroom stops.

After writing this, it is less on the pure charging speed discussion, and more on the overall experience. Eh, I’ll leave it since it’s still a relevant aspect.
