Plugging your car in overnight is a matter of course. You drive home and plug it in every day. It becomes muscle memory like anything else you do in life. You can rarely forget of course, but it's not like it's inconvenient. And for daily driving you can actually do many days of daily driving already without charging on standard electric vehicles today already, that'll have improved in 15 years as well.
In Tesla's new announcement the other day one of the other things they mentioned is like a 10x increase in battery charge times with the new cell design which will be ready in 3 years or so. So give it time.

- redisman 6y agoReplace parking meters with pay-to-use chargers I guess. If you're randomly street parking it'll be pretty difficult until they're ubiquitous.
- bradlys 6y agoUnless you don’t have parking meters where you park... It’s very rare that I park somewhere with parking meters near. For myself and many others, our cars will never see a driveway, a garage, or any place that could have a charging station. I think this will be a hugely limiting factor in adoption. As it stands, electric car owners are home owners more often than ICE purchasers and I don’t see that changing - maybe ever.
- ffggvv 6y agoyeah unfortunately i can't afford an electric vehicle until i can afford a house w/ a garage which seems like a prereq to charging it.

- lallysingh 6y agoDo you mean a 10x increase in battery charge rate?
