    Even if I made the EV switch today I’d be competing for the two chargers at most fuel stations

    This is the part where I say I live in a rural city, the number of chargers in the whole town is… two that I know of, and they’re pretty well hidden so you wouldn’t know about them unless you just decided to randomly go down the alley on the city block where they just happened to be behind a row of mixed use buildings in the city center. Aka, where nobody would actually go unless the street parking is entirely full, which has only happened once to me sometime last year.

    it uniquely sabotaged the rest of my day.

    I will add that my commute to that factory was honestly relaxing for me, since it was a going to work at night, and coming home in the morning, hardly anyone was ever in front of me or behind me. I would also have music blasting away, be completely alone for 30min each way, nobody bothering me one bit. It also helped a little that I would occasionally go down some twisty back roads I knew of… Okay look I actually do enjoy driving, I heavily played the gran turismo series growing up, I also did a lot of helping my dad do the oil change (or one time help with changing out a starter, changing a tire, ect, ect.) on the family car growing up too.
