One thing people forget (and that I have realised once I bought an EV) is that you save a lot of time never having to go out of your way to a petrol station for that 95%.
Plugging in at home takes 10 seconds. That does add up to a fair amount of time saved over the year.
- lotsofpulp 5y agoI would bet the vast, vast majority of people pass a petrol station on their way home or to a destination such that going out of their way for petrol is a rarity.
- dntrkv 5y agoEven driving a few blocks, having to stop and fill up, and then getting back on the route can easily take 10 minutes of your time. Being able to plug in at home and never worrying about filling up unless you're on a long drive will save you a ton of time. Not to mention the case where you're pressed for time and realize your car is on empty.
- Kirby64 5y agoIt's still an inconvenience. It's a minimum 5 minute detour, possibly more depending on your route, versus plugging in your car when you get home which adds maybe 10 seconds to your home routine.
