" I'm working on a how do you talk to people about EVs"

Perhaps we need videos/commercials/talking points about how one gets from point A to point B "175" miles at a time.

We're getting close to the northern part of Interstate 5 being turned into an electric corridor. I think within the year one will be able to drive from the Canadian boarder well into California, perhaps all the way to Mexico using Level 3 chargers along the way.

That's not a trip I'd want to do with a ~70 mile range Leaf, but with the smallest battery pack Tesla Model S and its 160 mile range it could be fine.

Might be interesting to do a comparison drive between the 160 mile range S and a gasmobile. Stick to the speed limit. Stop a reasonable amount of time to eat/pee/etc. See how much longer it would take with EV recharges over gas refills.
