Drive for two hours, rest for 30 minutes while the car charges enough to drive two more hours. While not exactly the same usage pattern as a fossil fuel car, it should be enough. We need more quick charge points.
EG: The vast majority of travel is for errands and work commuting. Probably a lot of that social travel in the linked survey is short distance as well.
Average miles a day is 30, which can easily be covered by an overnight charge.
Agree that the time to charge EVs is definitely a drawback for long distance travel (whether for social reasons or for transport etc.).
But this is how they used to travel when cars were first introduced. The Ford Model T could only get 170-200 miles [1] on a full tank of gas and gas stations were certainly as rare in the early 1900's as electric charge stations are today. Yet Ford still sold a ton of Model T's, and look at where we are today.
