Heyy Priyans,

Its not only an insightful but also a delightful read. Thank you.

Couple of questions:

1. What does " drafting behind large vehicles for as long as one can" signify ? Does it mean that you can cruise at constant speed or ?

2. Did you eventually find out the reason for the strange truck maze?

3. How much range should an EV have on a full charge inorder to avoid the panic you had to undergo in Bihar? I mean such that it can avoid looking for the chargers before Aasansol, considering the heat and everything.

Thanks again for sharing your experience. One of the the only reason I'm not unistalling Substack. And its worth it

Keep sharing.

Thanks for your comments Chinmay.

1. Drafting behind large vehicles help cut the energy used to cut through the air. The larger vehicle does that for you, when you drive behind the larger vehicle. It results in lower consumption, allowing you to go further.

2. Unfortunately not. I am still curious. Maybe one of our readers can take a guess to help solve that mystery.

3. Range is dependent on the driving style and environmental factors (elevation, wind, etc). Also, CPOs will look to set up chargers on that route.
