After 150 comments people will have lost interest in the thread, but here goes: I own an electric car which is not a Tesla. I am planning a trip from the California Central Valley to Bishop via Tahoe in my electric car. It takes about an hour to charge an electric car enough to go 225 miles. In my city they have these Chevy Bolts called Gig cars. You can rent one with an app. I waited over an hour at a place where there were 8 chargers, all being used by these Gig cars. While I was waiting several more Gig cars pulled up looking for a place to charge. If you want to know the future of electric cars, there it is. I want more people to buy them to support the chargers but not too many more so the competition for chargers doesn’t get too intense.

There is no way the grid will support everyone driving an electric car to the degree they drive gas-fueled cars today.

You think the environment is bad now, just wait til everyone is driving an electric car and they need to come up with the energy and the resources to support that all.

Do you charge your car using only the charging stations or do you also charge it at home? Also, how much does using the A/C reduce your range?
