On: We Could Have Had Electric Cars from the Beginning

When people stop saying X minutes to fully charge?

This is not how it works in reality. Last 5-10% is essentially trickle charge so it is better to skip it and charge more often but faster.

Just compare average charging power between 20-80% part of the curve and 80%-100%. It is ~4-6x difference depending on supercharger type:

Because parent referred to using almost the entire range (350 mi out of 370 is 95% assuming no margin for error).

He mentioned all his favorite spots had superchargers, not that those only spots with superchargers along his way.

I could easily halve that longest hop and a few others, because that's how many superchargers are along the way.

Edit: I checked and the longest, indivisible hop in my route is 180 miles.
