Seriously, if you are driving, say, across Pennsylvania, do you have to plan stops to charge to make sure there is a charger? How long to charge from a 25% battery to 100%? How far can you drive on an interstate using 75% of the battery? How much distance do you lose at night? Not challenging, I am genuinely interested.

I actually recently went through PA, Paramus to Pittsburgh. The in-car navigation can calculate if you have enough battery or not and will route you to chargers automatically. For road trips, you don’t need to charge to 100%, just enough to get to the next charger. So for a 20 minute stop, that gives you about 1.5 - 2 hours of driving. A full 100% charge can take well over an hour honestly. But your 0-80% is 45 minutes and 0-50% is less than half that. I regularly go to Montreal which would normally be 5.5 hours to my destination. All the charging needed takes an extra 2 hours. And that’s including winter segregation. Overnight doesn’t use much battery if any, UNLESS you have sentry mode on. I believe it’s a couple percent overnight, 1-2%.
