You're lazy and stupid and intellectually lazy and stupid, too.

There's no infrastrcture to support EVs, numbnuts, and you can't go very far with them, and they damn sure don't have any pulling power. Fuck off.

If infrastructure was instituted to support EVs, the US would be making more CO2 than now to support them. More of nature would ravaged to build the batteries, battery disposal is a big problem; They don't last very long is another.

Pipe down, fucktard. I'm all for a better way of locomotion, but that ain't it.

The batteries, if cared for, will last about eight years. If not, they will last for a much shorter time. Sources of damage of the EV battery pack is via mechanical (rocks or other debris from the roadway), damage from accident, corrosion from exposure or immersion in water (such an EV being exposed to flooding such as the recent storm hitting the STDC), damage from super-rapid charging cycles, damage from excessive discharge, damage from overheating due to cooling system failure, damage from near miss lightning strokes or nearby downed but active power lines, and of course simply manufacturing defect of a single cell degrading the whole pack and possibly damaging it.

During that lifespan, the ability of the batteries to hold a charge weakens. The result is a slow reduction in range available from a 'full charge'. This, of course, gets to the point that the battery no longer holds a usable charge and must be replaced, about $25000.

You are simply losing your memory handjob, and making excuses as most people do under these circumstances. I do have a fine Neurologist to recommend to you.

It would be really tight timing in a Tesla. Newark to Orlando is about 1100 miles. If you assume a 250 mile range between charges (you can't go right to the max range both because you can't time the charging station locations out that way and you don't want to brick the vehicle), the total time at 70 mph average--that means driving 75 to 80 and doing 4 charges along the way, comes out to about--about-- 21 hours. I doubt though on interstates on the Eastern seaboard you can maintain 75 to 80 driving so the time would stretch and at an average of just 5 mph lower it runs over the 23 hours.

How long are you assuming a "Charging session" takes?

What the hell are you talking about? I've charged my Tesla to 100% on a public charger many times. Plugged in the vehicle, went and had dinner, came back and the Tesla was fully charged. You seem to have a lot of 'facts' about EVs while never driven or owning one. Why is that?
Or you've just ran out of valid arguments and are now just making shit up.

You need pretty close to a full charge each time, and you can't assume a fast charge is available each time. I gave that total as 4 hours. This assumes you also might have to wait at a station where someone else is using it. That's all highly variable. If you fast charge to say 75% then you end up with maybe 200 - 225 miles to the next charge leading to needing 5 instead of 4.

With an ICE vehicle, I can drive it right to empty or nearly empty, fill the tank in under 10 minutes and be back on the road. Think of this as pitting in NASCAR or an endurance race like Le Mans. Faster pits mean less loss of position. So, if I have an ICE vehicle that can go roughly the same distance as the EV, I need 4 stops of 10 minutes let's say or about 1/20th of the time the EV takes to refuel.

The big stumbling block is still how fast you can manage on the interstates over that distance. In the West, I could just go faster. I can drive on rural ones in the West at 85 to 100 mph easily (yes, that's well above posted but easily doable). You probably can't come close to those speeds going from NJ to FL back East. I'd think it's likely to be more on the order of an average of 50 to 60 mph there meaning you drive 65 to 75 mph as much as possible.

So? You didn't drive the vehicle to ZERO charge either. You can drive an ICE to zero (eg., runs out of gas) and just refuel it. You drive a Tesla to zero and you have a brick.

It depends on the Tesla model sweetie, they can get up to a 400 mile range and charge in less than 30 min.
