It’s the same problem it’s always been from my point of view.
There’s nowhere to charge. No charger at my apartment, none at my office and according to internet charger maps it’s a 45 minute round trip to go get a charge and then I have to both save some of the range to get there and waste some getting back.
Doesn’t appear that anything will change on the next few years to gain a charger at my apartment or work either.
Also EVs all appear way more expensive than the used ICE cars that I would buy.
I don’t have the faintest desire for a luxurious car. I just want a super simple basic cheap car to get from point a to b.
- Schiendelman 3y agoAre you in Wyoming?
- SirMaster 3y agoNo, Wisconsin.
- Schiendelman 3y agoThere is no place in Wisconsin where it’s 45 minutes to a charger. The only states in the US where that is the case are Wyoming and Montana.
- ReallyOldLurker 3y agoRE: The only states in the US where that is the case are Wyoming and Montana That is absolutely incorrect. In Oregon, from the town that I live in, it is at least 45 minutes to the next one, regardless of the type of car or the road traveled. Keeping at a legal speed limit it is really an hour or more to the nearest charger.
- Schiendelman 3y agoI just drove from Winnemucca to Burns (and then Bend) in an EV last week. I don't think there was anywhere this was the case. Where exactly are you?
- SirMaster 3y agoI said round trip... A little over 20 min to get to a charger, then a little over 20 to get back home. Not to mention how long do I need to sit there and wait? And god forbid the couple charging ports aren't occupied when I get there... Every few days, just to keep my car charged? Sounds like the biggest pain and waste of time ever to me. I spent ~15K on my used car. What kind of range can I get in an EV for under 20K? My daily commute is ~60 miles (~30 miles each way), so how often would I need to make this 45 minute round trip just to charge my car?
