In what world?

Let's say I'm driving to Kansas City, a trip I have made many times. 600 miles ish.

In an EV, 75 mph, with a 75-min 100% charge halfway there (Looks like Colby, KS is the Supercharger stop @ 250 miles, but that might mean I'd have to stop again somewhere along the way and "top off"), that's 9 hours 15 minutes, plus a potential 2nd stop. (Per the Tesla supercharger website that'd cost me $50 to charge).

In a gas car, 75 mph, with a 10 minute fill-up halfway there, that's that's 8 hours, 10 minutes. (Per the Tesla Super charger website, that'd cost me $81/gas)

So I saved $31 and spent minimum an extra hour traveling if I took an EV...IF, and that's a BIG if, I got max mileage out of my EV. That's pushing it, especially it I used my AC/Heat or anything else.

And what factor(s) would make it quicker in an EV? Because, damn near any gas vehicle has a range equal-to or exceeding EV's. Add any stop to re-fuel, and the gas auto is going to save time.
