Do you own an EV?
I've noticed that battery-swapping seems to be mainly suggested by peope who haven't owned an EV, or have owned an EV where fast chargers are not common.
- LeafItAlone 3y agoOr people like me who don’t have the ability to install an EV charger where they live and don’t have the prospect of it any time soon. My recent experience in a rental Tesla solidified that even with the 250kW chargers, having to go elsewhere to charge it is a big deterrent to buying one. Even in Los Angeles, the Supercharger network isn’t dense enough to overcome this for me.
- jonnycomputer 3y agoYes, there are a lot of people for whom EVs don't yet make sense because they can't charge it overnight where they live (like apartments). And so this really brings home how offbase the parent comment is: maybe they don't own an EV because it doesn't make sense for them to own an EV given how it works for folks in the suburbs, but not elsewhere.
