xkcd #2948: Electric vs Gas - eviltoast

Alt text:

An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that’s the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

    1. I don’t have enough charge for my trip. I’m also thirsty.

    2. I go to a grocery store with a fast charger.

    3. I buy a drink.

    4. I have enough charge.

    If it’s a long trip where I need more charge, I choose a car snack, and I’ll have enough.

    If I’m on an actual long car trip and I want to charge all the way from the warning light to 100%, I will need to eat a meal anyway. I just find a McDonald’s/cafe,/restaurant/whatever with a fast charger, and it’ll be full before I’m done.

    But finding a store/eating place with a fast charger is still waaaay less convenient than just finding a place where I can get diesel in seconds, and find a different place to get drinks/food/snacks.
