For example, at freeway speeds, you can drive 65 miles in an hour. How long does it take you to put those 65 miles back into your EV? If your EV can restore those 65 miles in 6 minutes (one-tenth of an hour) then your EV has a drivability of 10; you can drive 10 times as long as it takes to charge. Very drivable.

So why the low station numbers, and why only in California?
