    Your comment was written by someone who doesn’t understand that they’re putting their children’s lives at risk. If you’re on a long road trip, and you’re not stopping for 20-30 minutes every few hundred miles, you are a reckless driver. You might as well be driving drunk. The maximum range of modern EVs is already the range where you need to stop on a road trip and take 20-30 minutes to get a proper sit down meal or take other breaks of similar length. Rest is important while driving, and that doesn’t just mean getting a good night sleep.

    If you’re taking your kids on a road trip, and you aren’t taking the length of stops needed for an EV trip, your kids should be taken from you, as you’re putting their lives in danger just to arrive at your motel 20 minutes sooner.
