What most don't realize here is that they are not counting the drive time to the actual gas station.
Whereas most EV owners just plug in when they get home and wake up to a full charge.
- core-questions 6y ago> they are not counting the drive time to the actual gas station More often than not, this is on the way home / on the way to work, no? I don't just start the car and drive it down to a station to get gas and then come home (barring strange circumstances).
- xedeon 6y agoThat totals to how many minutes at a gas station a month? Charging at home is zero.
- core-questions 6y agoFor me? Like, ten, fifteen minutes? Not exactly a big deal
- xedeon 6y agoSo if we are looking at this objectively. Zero minutes is far better than 10-15 minutes. I've been an EV owner since 2016. I am yet to experience "waiting to charge" while commuting 20 miles to work and running errands. I park in our garage, plug in, and wake up to a full charge. That's with being a 2 EV household with only one Tesla wall connector that is set to 30A (can support up to 100A).
- theshrike79 6y agoIt's a good 15 minutes from my house to the nearest gas station. 30+ minutes of time wasted just to fill up the tank. Compare that to the 60 seconds I use to plug in my car when I park it at home, I start every day with a charged car.
