I really wanted to rent an EV for my last road trip. Checked the destination and there were no chargers within 100 miles of my destination. That’s a no from me dawg. We need way more EV infrastructure.
Heard they don’t fare well in the cold?
tailpipe must be longer. maybe it will work out when we are spending for electricity what we spend today on gas
kill the car lobby. public transit now
Getting more EVs on the road is all about introducing models that aren’t fucking expensive
Well, if most people take the main highway to work or travel and if we could charge wirelessly, this would be a no-brainer. Seems like asking too much, though.
I don’t feel this article feels relevant to Western EU. There’s enough charging and fast chargers around when I’m driving between Netherlands and Germany. Those 300kw chargers on Germany seem futuristic, can we charge at that rate yet?
For me, I realised that one EV can use resources that would enable 100 PEVs.
So I agree. It’s about.. indoor charging and parking of PEVs 🙂
Imagine if you could ride in & park inside and washdown a PEV in a lobby, and also fully change your clothes and shower, quarantine shoes and bags, jackets or coats and so on. All before entering a building.
Then you could have many more people with more money to spend on things! Or more money for travel, or for improving housing conditions, or for health care, or for a better diet.
You could also have more funds for recycling facilities, or waste management or pollution capture and handling.
So while people are looking at outdoor charging facilities, I’m interested in indoor charging facilities. Also for recharging humans. They need good fuel too!
This is very true. The charging infrastructure is pathetic. I have a Bolt EV which takes 8 hours to charge, even with a level 2. In the winter I’m lucky to get 120 miles on a charge. Driving long distances is just not feasible.

Seems pretty obvious.
