[QUOTE="bird_dog0347, post: 17042908, member: 154353"] I was stating my experiences, based on a situation close to one you hypothesized. I'm trying to understand if you're advocating for the CT and in your post about the charge times/number of stops that you felt it was good/bad/indifferent? My personal stance is this. If you want an EV, GREAT... good for you and I hope it works well for you (you being a generic term not directed to YOU). I personally do not want one as I do not believe they are anywhere close to the same efficiency as an ICE vehicle. I also do not believe they are better for the planet over the course of their life, from the mining of the materials to the fact that they are ultimately powered by fossil fuels for a vast majority of them on the road. The point I was trying to make about the time stopped on a road trip is a personal one for me, when I'm on a road trip I want to get where I'm going and stop as little as possible to get there. Having to sit and wait 30+ minutes (or even 15 really) would drive me crazy. Between this post and my last, the family and I went to lunch... my 2500 HD truck needed fuel as I was below 1/8 tank. I timed it, from the moment I pulled into the station to the moment I pulled out was 4:48 seconds and I took on 30 gallons of diesel which will get me at least 550 miles of mixed highway/city driving. The best MPG I've seen on my truck over a 50 mile range was 26.3 MPG in a 4WD 2500 HD with 35" tires. The CT cannot compare with that in the long run. [/QUOTE]
