Driving an ICE after driving an EV I feel like it’s so inefficient and dirty, especially when you have your foot off the pedal and you are still burning gas, or just sitting there with it on, you get 0 miles per gallon. Oh yeah, and filling up at the gas station with a $50 bill, yuck.

I was in a casino parking lot the other day thinking the same thing. They have free charging there for 6 vehicles. I was thinking, what if almost all these cars in the parking lot were ev’s. There would have to be a huge move to creating charging spots. A lot of demand for these spots. Let’s say in this casino parking lot, most spots would need chargers. Assuming people need a charge and most drove ev’s.

What if the parking lot had a charger on every spot…hmmm

Frustrations, not enough chargers. Bigger frustration, sometimes the cost of charging is way too high, sometimes ridiculously high. Cheaper to charge at home.

I love the idea of going to a Walmart, grocery store, or restaurant and plugging in while I give them my business.

I’m not sure it’s “actually” at 100% when it says it is. Don’t these newer vehicles protect from hitting 100% by stopping before it hits it and then saying 100%?

First, most that want an EV have already bought theirs.

Also, some hate charging at charging spots because most are more expensive than charging at home. So, some ONLY charge at home. When those who put out the charge stations don’t make money (because some charge only at home), they slow down or stop creating new charge points. And everyone knows the charging system infrastructure isn’t quite there yet.

I’m still hesitant to buy a full EV because of this and lack of range. I currently drive a plug-in hybrid (and love it) and do almost all charging at home.

The time is coming soon where we will get a 1000 mile battery. And if charging stations can somehow actually make money (and therefore creating more charging stations), I believe sales will take off again.

Until then, I’m still waiting for a company to release a 150-mile range plugin hybrid. Don’t know if it will ever happen.
