> it’s 30+ minute charge time. As great as electric is, an extra hour in the car on a road-trip with 3 kids is a tough sell.

I dissent! Just did a 2-day (each way) road trip with young children and those charging breaks are pretty great and well-spaced for letting them run around and blow off steam. It’s not such a bad idea for the adults either…



Maybe but a lot of my family road trips are haul ass to Disneyland or San Diego (from Phoenix) where we leave at 6AM and want that travel day to be usable at our destination. We usually have about a 10 minute stop for gas fill up and snacks or lunch.

Superchargers are normally built in retail areas that are popular enough to be safe.


There are no designated "safe areas" to run around in lol


Do you only allow children to run around in areas that someone designated as safe?


Where are most charging stations? Are they setup as kid friendly? Get out of here.
