Next I figured 300 miles per charge. You will never get that towing.Then i figured 30 minute charge time. I bet it takes longer than that to charge the batteries for another 300 miles.
I came up with almost 17 hours waiting for your car to charge.

There are currently 3 types of charging stations. There are the standard 120 vac and the faster 240 vac chargers. And then there are the fast charging stations. The fast charging stations claim an 80% charge in 20-30 minutes. At 80% charge they are throttled down to protect the battery life. Not all EVs can accept the fast charging stations, but that is likely the route future EVs will take.
Emissions from vehicles (which accounts for the largest percentage of total emissions) along with all the other emissions from other sources is not only harmful to our environment, it is harmful to our health.
