This is what a single trip to the hardware store looks like out where my parents live.

Notice the miles driven, time it took, and remaining battery status (started this at 100%).

But by all means, please keep telling us electric cars only work in cities.

Oh right, and I should add that to recover this charge on a 7.2 kW charger would take about 2 and a half hours.

Again - you really don't need a giant charger.

@TechConnectify the only place where I see electric vehicle a bit behind is very long trips, like cross country. But the infrastructure just needs to be build, just like gas stations.

@tebrown @TechConnectify I had a winger try to tell me once that electric cars couldn't work because of the lack of charging stations.

I told him I had faith the free market would provide a solution.

The best places for chargers for longer distance travels is going to be plazas with restaurants and other shopping. Plug in, get some food and stretch legs. When you are done eating, your vehicle should be full enough for the next leg of the journey.
