When I go on a longer journey my typical stop is 15 minutes to get to a toilet and possibly get a cup of coffee, even the 30 minutes charge time of the Tesla would be an age to me. I'm not the most patient.
By that time,the range on electric cars will have gone up. Some already do over 300 miles on a charge,and I would expect that to go to 500 in the next few years
