A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

They should build ev charging stations with a drive in theater so you can watch a movie as you're charging up to continue your road trip (lemmy.world)

15 min for 200mi

5 min for 600mi

Totally equivalent right?

It's annoying when EV-angelists act like range is a non issue compared to ICE vehicles. I want to buy an EV, but none of them have the range or charging speed I'd require for my typical drives.

600 is a lot. Are you talking about a hybrid?

My ICE 2015 Cooper and 2019 Volvo S60 float around 300-350mi of range. Which, is right about what all the top EVs get with their extended range battery options.

But get what works for you. A smaller 200mi entry level battery would be more than enough for my needs. Even with a long trip, I actually want to stop and stretch my legs every 2-3 hours.
