Re: Quick stop for gas.......
A couple of years ago we were on the Florida Turnpike late at night. I pulled into one of the Kiosks to
get gas and there was a line of cars off to my left. I thought that was strange and then I saw the EVs
all backed into charge with twice as many waiting for a turn. I filled up with gas, grinned at them and
left.

That gives a new meaning to the term charge card. I saw a photo of a charging station powered by a diesel generator. Maybe it was painted green.

Maybe it would be a better idea to just power vehicles by diesel.
Oh, wait a minute...

Re: Quick stop for gas.......
I see a real problem if the electric grid should fail. I guess one might need a GAS powered generator to charge their EV.

Can you imagine everyone comes home from work and plugs in their EV . Guess what the grid can't handle the sudden load.and nobody goes anywhere the next day.

Yep just not practical yet and the ICE much more dependable for long distance running and hauling.
