I get 500 miles from a tank of gas traveling, I can go to Cape Cod without stopping to recharge for a day half way. Branson MO, three fuel stops maybe a half hour total time because it was almost 1200 miles.
Only 4 current car models have 500 mile range on a single tank, is this a truck? Because the Cybertruck is expected to have a 500 mile range, so.



The long-distance trip is truly the inconvenience of the EV.

It will get better; the version 3 Tesla supercharger, now being rolled out, will recharge the Model 3 battery to 80% in a half hour, or about 75 miles in five minutes.

VW's charging system is even faster, but requires water cooling...
