A good portion of them (~100k cars) will head out at the start of a long weekend, in different directions, but along maybe 5 arterial roads. These split up again. While it's not "exact", think of it as a stream of cars which need charging. There are places to have breakfast, lunch, dinner, people will head out at different times and so on, but that gap is maybe 4 hours, so "lunch" maybe spread from 11-2. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Dippy@beehaw.org [S] 1 point 2 months ago True, no one starts at the same locations, lots of people are going to have different itineraries, that diversity should help substantially permalink fedilink source parent
