Cars That Think

You would tell it where you want to go—and since this is a trip, you make several times a year, you would have it as a stored destination—and you would tell the car, okay, give me a route and the car will route you via DC fast chargers. It doesn't cover the whole thing, but you do get a chunk of it back as a tax credit.
