  • eGMP cars (Hyundai/Kia) need 20 minutes of charging per 2-3 hours of driving. It really works — I’ve driven across Europe twice now, and often my coffee breaks take more time than the car needs to recharge.

    The battery tech has advanced significantly in the last 10 years. Leaf used to be 24kWh, now it’s 40kWh for the same price. If the trend continues (and likely will thanks to economies of scale ramping up), by the time you need to replace the battery in today’s EVs, the replacements will be cheaper and better.
