Most gas stations have more then 2-4 pumps, and whatever number they have, you aren't at risk of waiting 30min for previous user to finish, or driving 30 miles

Most gas stations have more then 2-4 pumps, and whatever number they have, you aren't at risk of waiting 30min for previous user to finish, or driving 30 miles to find the next pump.
I say this as an exclusively EV driver for 5+ years myself... let's not defend the indefensible (EA's CCS network).
- vel0city 4y agoI'm just sharing my personal experiences. Every time I've charged at a DCFC in the past year all dispensers appeared to be working and I was able to either plug and charge or tap to pay with Google Wallet on my phone. I did not wait in a line once nor did I fail to charge on the first try. Meanwhile in the last year I've waited in lines several times to get gas, and I've pulled up to a pump only to find it out of order three times this last year and seen many others with bags over the pump handle signifying they're out of order. It's definitely not 99.99% of gas pumps working.
- borski 4y agoPrecisely. The percentages are fairly similar, I’d guess. But we’d need actual objective data to show that.
- not_a_shill 4y agoWho is lining up at broken pumps???
- vel0city 4y agoI've gone to pump gas multiple times in the last year. On a few occasions, I pulled up to a pump and found out it wasn't working after I got out of my car and tried to use the pump. On other occasions, I waited in lines to access pumps.
