Honestly, that’s what really began to work on me. At a “supercharger,” you can go from <5% to 90+ in 40 min +/- (iirc).
So you have time to check emails, respond to texts, listen to music, etc — it’s perfectly unstructured, found time.
A couple of those and I realized my entire driving experience had changed, and imho for the better (again, assuming all systems are in order).
Between that and performance of the car (accel/decel, ergonomics, quietness in cabin, sound system, auto windshield wipers, heated seats, etc) and found myself really, really liking it.
Mind you, the range totally suits our current situation, where we work from home and might put on 50-100 a couple of times a week going to and from church or something.
For the one road trip, because my wife and son were going without me, I got them a Challenger after researching the availability of “supercharges” in SoFla. Then I read some reviews...they don’t seem like places that would match the experience we always have in the little town we live near, which has far more chargers in a grocery store lot than they need. In a high traffic area, near a superhighway, judging by the reviews I’ve read, you’d want to have a piece nearby in case things got unruly.
For the average Joe, plugging the car in at night after the daily commute seems like a decent proposition.
Also, it is said that too much “supercharging” is not ideal for the battery.
Finally, as stated elsewhere, non-tesla charging experiences range from merely expensive to outrageous shakedowns and are known to have reliability issues.
Thanks for the update. We will see how much the electrical grids are challenged this summer if it is a hot one. The West grid nearly went down last year and the Texas grid did go down in spots. The problem is that if the whole grid goes down, then it can get into a chain reaction shut down because so many systems are computerized and have limited back up generators. There will be a cascading failure that will be almost impossible to recover for weeks. Once the whole grid goes down, repair will take weeks, if not months to get back on line. That is how our system is engineered. The advances must be in batteries and storage capacity in the future, or too many electric cars could bring our whole electrical grids down is a catastrophic way. We don’t have the technology to convert our grids to 100% ‘green’ as they call it. It is not ‘green energy’, but more like brown or black out energy.
