My biggest concerns about electric vehicles are durability and distance between charges. Gas or diesel vehicles last well over 150,000 miles with very little maintenance involved. Plus we can go over 400 miles between fill ups in the average vehicle, towing not necessarily included, some many more (cars).

By 2035 I will be 85, so probably not driving much at that point.

My question is 2 parts - How is the durability of an electric vehicle and what is the farthest you can go between charging??????

Annie had her Tesla at the Bracket Finals last Fall. 500 miles from Seattle/Tacoma to Firebird in Idaho. Desolate country for an EV. I didn't see her rig but I doubt she drove it. Al Young did (Big *** Plymouth).


EDIT: Pacific has had charging stations in the pits for around three years now and hosts an EV race (Silent Thunder). Do any of your home tracks have charging stations?
Electric racers seem to be a thing up and out here in tne NorthWest. The previously mentioned Annie and Her Tesla are a pain for the bracket racers and Steve Huff has the 200mph mark in an electric dragster. Below is a link for an article on him with specs and a video.

John: There are batteries and charging systems in the pipeline that will put 100 miles in an EV in 5 minutes.
