Families who buy electric vehicles "never have to worry about gas prices again."

#9

I drive to Pittsburgh quite often so tell me if I'm missing something here:

Distance - 800 miles through the mountains of WV.

GAS VEHICLE -
Total gas cost = $95 each way assuming 25 mpg and $3/gallon.
Travel time = 13 hours (quick gas and pee stops only)

ELECTRIC VEHICLE -
Total electric cost = $32 based on 4 cents per mile.
Travel Time = 43 hours which represents 13 hours driving + (10 hours x 3 additional charges) Note: this is based on an electric vehicle getting 250 miles per charge and taking 10 hours to charge. Also, the vehicle is going to get less distance going through the mountains of WV so I'm assuming I'll need to charge the car at mile 250, 500, and 700 to get to my total of 800 miles.

WHAT THE HECK !!! If I drove a Tesla to Pittsburgh, would it really take me 43 hours to get there, factoring the charging time? Am I missing something????
