    EV batteries charge faster at lower percentages. the general strat for long distance driving is to recharge your car from 10% to 50% every 2 hours. this takes about 15 minutes. these stops are often at a gas stations, but can also be at grocery stores. I like using them as an opportunity to stretch my legs. i do not find it to be a hassle relative to refilling a gas car, because my long distance trips are far less often than my general commute, which starts with a full tank every morning.

    I did have some anxiety before getting an electric car but after having one I think the infrastructure is fine for most use cases as long have you have a car that charges fast and has a 300 mile range.

    I think current infrastructure is fine, but also welcome improvements i guess
