A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

They should build ev charging stations with a drive in theater so you can watch a movie as you're charging up to continue your road trip (lemmy.world)

15 min for 200mi

vs

5 min for 600mi

Totally equivalent right?

It's annoying when EV-angelists act like range is a non issue compared to ICE vehicles. I want to buy an EV, but none of them have the range or charging speed I'd require for my typical drives.

600 is a lot. Are you talking about a hybrid?

My ICE 2015 Cooper and 2019 Volvo S60 float around 300-350mi of range. Which, is right about what all the top EVs get with their extended range battery options.

But get what works for you. A smaller 200mi entry level battery would be more than enough for my needs. Even with a long trip, I actually want to stop and stretch my legs every 2-3 hours.
