I'm still waiting for the point where EVs become objectively better than ICE cars in terms of range. Until then, I just won't even consider an EV. Like in the article it says it takes 45 minutes to charge even at a supercharger? No thanks. It would be acceptable if the actual range of the car was way ahead of ICE cars, but 450 KM (280 miles) is just not even close to your typical 16 gallon tank at 30 mpg. Other than fast acceleration I just see zero advantages to EVs. Believe me, I'm rooting for battery tech to improve dramatically just as much as anyone else, but after 20+ years of one hype-laden discovery after another with 0 to show for it, my hopes aren't exactly high.

Way more than I need for every trip save one or two a year The biggest blockers to EV adoption IMO is all the folk who rent and won’t have access to a home charger.
- uejfiweun 3y agoYeah, I mean that is a big blocker. Housing is absurdly expensive in the bay area, I'll probably just have to leave eventually since my career has just progressed very averagely.
