"Over the course of the next three and a half days, I drove about 300 miles..My biggest concern at the beginning of this EV road trip was running out of battery life in the middle of nowhere...I never got in a situation where it got really, really close...charging stations were pretty common along my route...you don't have to do a full charge every time. Within 30 minutes, you really get a lot of power...Once I was done charging, I was surprised how cheap it was when compared with gas."
