Never said it wasn’t.

But, even if he did have an 80 gallon tank, it’d take him about 4 minutes to fill it, rather than 24hrs, and he’s back on the road. And probably paying about same amount.

“1 quick search if he’d gotten a 440 charger he could charge it in an hour. Now his 120 and 220 charge times are about twice what Car and Driver say, but still, that would be 2 hour.” and if the Queen had ballz, she’d be the King.

Nothing but “should have, could have, would have”. If he had purchased the 440 charger, who knows what that costs to buy and install(who cares), he might be able to charge is X-Wing Fighter or Tie Fighter and go anywhere he wants. Maybe make the leap to hyperspace.

Yeah, but that’s the trade off. And everybody buying an EV knows that. They take longer to charge than gas engines take to fill.

Absolutely. Because “should have, could have, would have” is the RIGHT answer. If you’re dropping 80 grand on a car and you’re not willing to do even 30 seconds of research it took me to find out expected charge times, that’s on you. I’ve NEVER bought a car without at least an hour of research. I want to know the reliability. I want to know if it has a timing chain or belt. I want to know about parts availability. I want to know real world expected mileage. I want to know what the hell I’m buying . And I’ve never bought a car that cost more that 20 grand (I’m cheap, I also have a 4 mile commute). If I was gonna drop $80 grand on a car I would walk into that dealership knowing more about it than the salesman. A lot more.

Be a smart consumer. Do your freaking research.
