It is now possible to drive coast to coast by using Tesla super charging stations. Which, if you buy a Tesla, is free.
But are they near a decent motel and restaurant because the recharge is 8 hours and nobody is going to spend the better part of a day sitting around staring at each other. With the VOLT, you have a gas engine charging the electric-traction motor producing a 400 mile range on dry pavement....the recharge is intended to happen while your sleep.
The Super Charging stations take 75 to 90 minutes for a full charge on the Tesla. You can get half a charge in between 20 & 30 mins. That will get you 150 miles or so. So you stop for 30 mins every 100 to 150 miles.
