VA maybe different. We are some what rural and the Beltway has a lot of traffic. I traveled 3 miles in an hour once.
I am sure blasting the ac or heat in that situation would of taken a quarter of the range of any ev. In VA Beach you can spend 15 minutes at a stop light and easily epleat the prius battery and have it start idling on gas with the ac on.
The young women where i use to work woudl drive from Richmond to Norfolk after work on Friday to attend partoes int he wee hours. Thats a 300 mile round trip.
I dont know, I drove a leaf 60 miles and plugged it in for an hour half way. Watching the meter and est range go down faster than I could drive wasnt a pleasant site. It was luke warm out and I had the ac on its lowest setting and blower speed.
Not sure I understand the different plugs for evs. I thought electric codes have already been established? Wouldnt you just carry YOUR charger with you and plug it into a standard or 220/440 outlet?
