1/ Did you know that the average EV driver fills up with less then a gallon of gas of energy each trip to a EV fast charging station? Think about that!

Let's explore what is behind this & the implication for the future of car refill

Buckle up drivers for an Electric Thread 🧵⚡️

2/ According to publicly available data from @ElectrifyAm, the average amount of energy an EV driver fills up with at fast charging stations is only 33kWh per trip.

At an efficiency of 4 miles per kWh, that's around 132 miles of range per session.

3 / For comparison, gas cars have a range of about 350 miles per tank with 12 gallons of gas.

While EVs still have some catching up to do, the growing availability and convenience of fast charging stations are making them an increasingly viable option for daily driving

4/ In terms of energy efficiency, EVs get way more miles per kWh of energy than gas cars!

The average gas car gets around 25 miles per gallon of gas, while the average EV gets around 4 miles per kWh.

5/ This means that EVs are much more efficient at converting energy into motion, resulting in lower fuel costs and zero emissions.

Plus, with more renewable energy sources being integrated into the grid, the environmental benefits of EVs will only continue to grow.

6/ Because of lower range, we expect multiple EV refill sessions per-week, creating EV charging oppts for #cstores

With more charging stations popping up all over the place, it's becoming easier and more convenient than ever for EV drivers to power up on the go!

7/

With average charging times for an EV being slower than the time it takes to fill up a gas car expect drivers to stop for longer at charging stations

We also will need more fast charging stations than gas stations to accommodate this extra dwell time
