Absolutely not true. This is one of those things Tesla diehards keep repeating as if it was 2015 still. You have commercial super-chargers widely available already that can charge a car 80% in 20 minutes:

- ericmay 5y agoI’ll check that out but as an EV owner over the course of a few years even the Supercharger network isn’t widespread enough. So I’m not ready to buy that there is an alternative that’s as good as that network already. This looks more like the “see you can drive from LA to NYC” road-trip stuff from the early Tesla days. Things will expand for sure and I’m happy about it, but this looks like marketing to me. You own and drive an EV I take it? What’s your experience been like?
- drewg123 5y agoFrom that video, I assume you're in the UK. In the USA, it is still 2015 basically. Everything I've seen on charging non-Tesla EVs in the USA makes it seem like its a total dumpster fire. One of the YT's I watch has experiences like this all the time: https://youtu.be/jGjUQuXozYc?t=862 https://youtu.be/jGjUQuXozYc?t=862
- SyzygistSix 5y agoThese folks had issues charging their Porsche Taycan on their road trip in 2021. Also it looks like charging on a road trip looks like a Tour de Walmart for the most part. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTieOdnDhX8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTieOdnDhX8
- ericmay 5y agoNo worse than the Tour de Meijer I've been on with the Supercharging network lol. At least Meijer has a small bourbon selection so I can try and find a bottle of Buffalo Trace from time to time.
