Charging problems. Every time I 'charge' my gasoline SUV, it takes 5-6 minutes. If I do a thorough job of checking under the hood, a few minutes more.
Nowhere in the Drive-By Media will we see the damage done to EV batteries with fast charging. Most charging manuals (small phones to larger items), to this day, recommends regular charging times, to not let the battery drop below 20%, and do not charge over 80%.
Last year Finland announced a new EV charger that would charge the EV battery in 15 minutes. No word on the immediate or lifetime damage to the battery.
Ain’t Communism wonderful.
A friend of ours who owns a Volvo dealership says he sells more reconditioned old Volvos than new hybrid Volvos. Also says (in private) that he never own a Volvo newer than a 2007.

Being fairly new and cutting edge technology, this is to be expected. The more complicated it is, the greater the chance of a failure.
not to worry
most of us will be on a bus anyway
I read that you don't want to use Tesla superchargers too often. It'll destroy your battery.
Such improvements! Last week it was 80% problems.
I have a buddy in the coldest part of Wisconsin and he says his Tesla has zero problems with the cold affecting the battery and that anyone saying that is just an anti-Elon leftist
In my experience, at three years cellphone batteries are somewhere between 30 and 50% of their original capacity, and that is with charging every three or four days.
If EV batteries follow the same trajectory they would be borderline unusable in three years given that you are not supposed to use more than 60% of their capacity in the first place.
The railroading of America into EVs is a national security risk. Our nations’ transportation system is in great peril because ignorant, short-sighted ideologues are destroying the versatility of gas driven energy. They have no regard to the extent our electrical infrastructure is required in order to carry the electrical demands of an all-electric transportation system. Electrical blackouts will become a way of life and power surges will fry all of our electronics if we don’t put expensive main panel surge protectors on our electric systems.
Here are some non car related questions
What is insurance like for EVs
What kind of extra fees are charged for EVS, think in ohio there are increased costs for tags and maybe some other fees, govt is not going to let you get away without paying “gas tax” one way or the other
Long term repairs, the obvious is battery replacement, but what about drive train? I can replace and engine and trans, but all the gadgets in an EV, doubt I can run down to autozone or jegs for that
Imagine repair market is controlled by dealerships, so little competition
'They have to do something about it': Why drivers say New York State needs more working EV chargers
Note the people whining: No, Deep State doesn't have to do a damn thing. EVs aren't about saving the planet, you silly sods.
EVs are about bankrupting your butts.
EVs are about restricting your ability to travel.
Take your brains outta neutral before it's too late.
Another government disaster is a coming

What’s the EV equivalent of KY ?
