MMMMMMMM.... Maybe...... lol Truthfully we only did that once. Our other trips back and forth took up to 20 hours or more. We found out that if you hit NYC at the wrong time it will take you up to 3-4 hours to get through there. Same with DC and Richmond. Reminds me of a few jobs I did in NorCal. Coming home, we'd roll up early and head out. It would take us +/- 5 hours to drive the first 400 miles and 2 hours to drive the last 30 once we hit LA. We figured out we could work the whole day and get home close to the same time by missing rush hour. After traveling for work for 40 years . I plan all my trips that way. In the AM cities are hard to get into and easy to get out. Reverse that in the PM . Especially Atlanta.

We do all of our many trips leaving at 3-4 in the morning each way, arriving at 2 or 3 in the afternoon.

"Rush hour." So funny!
NOBODY rushes during rush hour, not even emergency vehicles on emergency runs.
There are probably still cusswords echoing inside my old unit that were flung at numerous idiots who had no clue what to do when they saw and heard lights and siren.

Demonrats are America's domestic terrorists and modern day Nazis. Why are they supporting HAMAS and trying to destroy Israel?

Did they run? Some of the bad guys did. The idiot innocents just wouldn't get the hell out of the way. I had quite a few fun pursuits that once over, I looked back at and asked myself "Did you REALLY just do all that stupid stuff?" I wish we had had dashcams back then!

You guys are missing the point. I think the point is that they're trying to do away with Gas engines before they have the infrastructure and technology to replace them. With out placing a financial and time consuming burden on us. Funny i'm watching Chicago Fire on TV and they are trying to save a guy in an EV accident, but can't get the guy out of the car without electrocuting the fireman SMDH I would say this article makes my point. www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/people-told-not-to-charge-tesla-cars-to-save-the-electrical-grid-from-crashing-in-the-heat/ar-AAZBGQr?ocid=msedgdhp&pc=U531&cvid=94dbac7fb1f8487e9bacffb0cc155ff5I know the the "climate change" folk will cry "Well if it wasn't so warm , they wouldn't strain the system." All I have to say is here in FL they say we're breaking records as far as heat, but the records were made in the 60's and some in the early 1900s.Well if it was this hot back then. Then what was the reason for the heat then? It couldn't be that the earth heats up and cools off periodically could it?

But night is when there is less sustainable power produced. What to do? What to do? Look to battery technology. BIG BATTERIES. A megawatt-scale unit of the aerospace and defense technology company’s GridStar Flow flow battery energy storage system will provide back up power in case of grid outages and reduce fossil fuel consumption at the facility.
The system will be 1MW/10MWh, enabling 10-hours discharge of stored energy at 1MW output. Lockheed Martin said yesterday that the battery system will be tested over a period of about two years in line with protocols developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), one of the US Department of Energy’s national labs and in a tailored programme created with local utility Colorado Springs Utilities.www.energy-storage.news/lockheed-martin-putting-long-duration-flow-battery-at-us-armys-fort-carson/#:~:text=%E2%80%98Innovative%20long-duration%20storage%20technology%E2%80%99%20from%20Lockheed%20Martin%20will,and%20reduce%20fossil%20fuel%20consumption%20at%20the%20facility.

Interesting. How big would one of them have to be to power a vehicle for an extended period of time? Would sorta suck having to pull a trailer that holds the battery powering your car. lol

...especially a discontinued model. It isn't quite the problem it once was, but early on, resale and dead batteries was the biggest reason NOT to buy one. For someone like me who drives every single mile out of the car until it's a totally dead pile o' nothing, it is still an issue. I'd have to change my car-buying habits.
