EV Charging Doesn't Need to Be as Fast as Gas, Ionna CEO Says

Longer trips in EVs require one small reframing, at least when compared to how we used to do longer trips before.

In longer trips with an ICE, we would have a meal before the trip, then drive until the destination, and have a meal when arriving.

With an EV, you should plan to have a meal on the road, and charge while you eat.

I’ve had a few experiences with this recently on a 300k trip we do fairly regularly. We do it in an older EV with comparatively poor range, but still we get away with making one stop to eat and charge.

Alternatively, take smaller stops more often. It’s so much better to stop every 100km for like 15 minutes to walk around, get a pee break, or whatever, than to endure 4 hours of sitting in one go.

where are there gas stations, let alone EV chargers every 100km?

Anywhere where people live. Which is, incidentally, where people are.
