Really? I keep reading about the problems people are having finding available and functional rapid charging stations. Which is understandable because I never see any except in large cities and they are almost completely empty the handful of times I have come across one.

There are also the folks who find out they can’t get a rapid charge without risking a fire.

Plus, if you know anything about batteries you know supercharging is not something you need to do continuously without ever getting a long duration regular charge.

For people who want to be an early adopter of the technology and have counted the cost it is what it is.

But the poor folks who get misled by fanatics like you wind up with something they never would have purchased if they knew what they were getting themselves into.

Again you make a personal attack without basis!

Again, MOST charging is done at home. Rare is the person that drives 200 miles per day. The ones that do are going to save tons on fuel costs.

OTOH, cab fleets are reporting great results using EV’s.

But the poor folks who get misled by fanatics like you wind up not buying something very suitable to their lifestyle.

“There are also the folks who find out they can’t get a rapid charge without risking a fire.”

Every year, there are more than 5000 gas station fires.
