They take about the same time as with an ICE. I stop and charge for 20m whenever I need a restroom break or some food (every couple hours or so). My car generally goes longer without stopping than I do.

If you're stopping often or long, something is wrong with your setup.

> I like Teslas a lot, but gave you ever been on a road trip in one? It's pretty brutal.

Maybe 50 road trips? Usually hundreds of miles, with the longest at 1000mi. Literally the easiest road trips I've done in my life.

I routinely traverse Monteagle with no substantive loss in efficiency. Sounds like something goofy with the mach-e?

I just drove 100mi in freezing temps (around 25F) at mostly interstate speeds (70+) mph. I completed my trip around 95% of EPA. Maybe a function of the quality of your EV.

I know congestion can be an issue at some sites, but I have never waited in line to charge in seven years of EV ownership.

In addition, for superchargers, you can see real-time stall availability, so if a particular site was crowded, you could just opt for the next. (Easy enough to do since there are so many).
