Great. Now you're limited to eating only somewhere in the vicinity of a charging station. Personal vehicles are there to facilitate your life, not the other way around.
- mikeash 11y agoIn a non-EV I have to go out of my way to find a gas station several times a month even if I'm always within range of home. I'm not going to say that EVs are always perfect, but for many people, the charging experience can overall be a a point in favor, not against. It's not like traditional cars are perfect in this regard, we've just become used to them.
- vacri 11y agoEV is a non-starter for me explicitly because I have to park on the street. The 'charge at home' thing doesn't work unless you have a garage-laden suburbia. The charging-at-home experience is highly dependent on whether or not the person has a garage, really.
- mikeash 11y agoThe requirement is really just a dedicated parking spot, not a garage. The two often go together, but certainly not always. I totally agree that if you park on the street, it's not going to work well for you right now. Eventually we'll get to the point where charging is plentiful even for street parking, but that's going to be a very long time.
