Continued from Part 1... Would Charging Time Kill You? Another common lie about EVs is that they'd take forever to escape the danger zone because they don't go very far and take 8+ hours to
Another common lie about EVs is that they’d take forever to escape the danger zone because they don’t go very far and take 8+ hours to charge. This has led to idiotic posts saying that it would take a week to get out of Florida in an EV, and you’d be caught in the hurricane in your car.
But, the kind of EV someone would own as their only car is far, far better. A car with 200-400 miles of range that can recharge and get more range in 30-45 minutes isn’t going to take a week to get out of Florida. Even if I had to wait an hour at every charging station, that would only add five hours to a trip out of Florida. Do you know how long you’d be waiting at gas stations? At least as long, assuming you can find a station that isn’t out of gas.
One tweet said that rain puddles would be dangerous to electric cars. Others were more conservative and claimed that only deep puddles and flooding would hurt them. In the case of flooding, that’s probably true, but only because it could wash away .
