Alan O’Hashi learned one thing, and that is that a road trip in an EV is much different than a traditional gasoline-fueled vehicle. “It was very difficult,” said O’Hashi. “For example, (it took) 15 hours to get from Cheyenne to Casper,” he added. It was his first trip in late May 2022, so this wasn’t back in the beginning days of EVs either. He was able to get the time…
