    Who cares about what they do regularly. What maters is what they do EVEN ONCE! Most people do take 1000 mile road trips - about once a year. They expect their cars to do this. Sure you can rent a car - but that is very expensive - it is typically cheaper to just buy a single car that can do everything. The cost of a rental car (remember poor transit in the US when you get there) also drives a lot of people away from flying or amtrak.

        Not exactly. It can but chargers are rarely in convenient locations. You shouldn’t have to use an app to find a charger there should be big signs. And things to do at the charger.

            I’m not convinced. Both are needed. Most of the time most people don’t need megawatt charging but I think most people really want it once a year. And as also brought out if semis are to go electric they need this so if cars can use it too that is good.
