Downsides are you can’t drive as far, usually, before needing to fill up, and quick charge takes about 25 minutes, instead of the usual 5 for gas.
Upside is that only matters on road trips. If you have an outlet at home, like we do, your car is just always charged.
Yeah it seems only practical if a person is travelling local and is assured outlets are where they are going. Road trips you are never assured there is a station especially if you’re seeing relatives.
That’s not what I said at all.
Charging stations are pretty plentiful. Basically if there’s a gas station, there’s probably also a charging station nearby.
None of my relatives have a charging station.
If they have electricity, you can charge there. Portable chargers are a thing.
But, I wasn’t talking about a charging station in their house. I’d assume they also don’t have a gas station in their house. I’m talking about a public fast charging station. Something like Electrify America, ChargePoint, or Tesla Supercharger.
I don’t think you’re here to discuss, just to lick your own bum on what works for you explicitly.
Me and the millions of other people who own electric cars. What value have you added to this conversation? Do you even own an electric car? It sounds like you’re not talking from experience.
I can talk from experience as a car owner and as someone who should be interested enough to know if it’s viable enough for me.im allowed an opinion. My feedback for my needs is valid. Deal with it or cry more.
