You prompted me to do some reading. I found an article about the Tesla supercharging network. They can recharge a Tesla is 15-25 minutes. So, maybe 300 miles is ok.

I guess EVs are the future, because we will run out of sufficient oil that can be purposed for gas. One wonders what we have more of, though, petroleum for gas or rare earth metals for batteries. Maybe we've got them in asteroids.
