        Yea, would be nice if I had my own house to add a charger to. I rent and have to use communal chargers.

          Ok so you bought an electric car knowing full well you were not able to charge it at will at night (and I assume nowhere in your regular daily routine, like at work) and now complain about that?

          I’m from Canada and I hate I bought a giant bikini collection but bikini season is only 1 month here… therefore, bikinis suck!

            I didn’t buy it. It was gifted to me. I didn’t know anything about EV. After having used it now for 8 years, I know I never want another EV ever again.

              Oh wow I see… I feel sorry for you getting a free car you could have just sold if it didn’t fit the bill for you

      There are newer models that can charge to 80% in 15 min. It will probably take a while until fast chargers are widespread, but this is where things are going.

          Yeah, it won’t.

          ICE engines also need oil changes, transmission fluid, headgaskets,belts.

          I agree that modern “it’ll spy on you” car software sucks ass. The actual battery and charging tech is way way better than 2018 though. No one has to stop for 45 minutes.

            Yea and I can do my own maintenance. That’s another factor that sucks about EV. You can’t even do any work yourself.
