Interesting! -- they have talked a lot about more EVs though, not increasing diesels, and diesel fuel prices are way up. Plus the 150 Lightning is selling like hotcakes.Worth noting, "thunder" is the code word for diesel, at least in Canada. So there's a roughly 50/50 chance these are going to be diesels instead of electrics.
I would spend 98% of time charging at home. Road trips are a different story, but high speed charging is becoming more available depending on the capabilities of the vehicle. Today you can get a Tesla around 150 miles on 15-20 minutes of charge, enough to grab a bite to eat and take a bio break. You can experiment with websites like A Better Routeplanner to see what any given vehicle's charge time would be for your route. In a ~1000 mile journey ABRP says to stop 7 times for a total charge time of 1 hour and 40 minutes. Not bad, considering its not that much more time than it would take to gas up, grab food, and use the bathroom.EV = no thanks.
Not waiting in line for an hour to charge my car. Then waiting another 30+ minutes for it to charge. Life is already short. YMMV.
The 'waiting in line part' is why some of us are considering putting up pay chargers. More chargers, less waiting in line.EV = no thanks.
