Nothing like spending 50% of the travel time in a Walmart parking lot waiting for enough charge to get down the road to....... you guessed it.... another Walmart!
Guess the recharging time problem is hitting many electric car users right in the..... trunk (family rated post).
The best story I read was the lady who purchased a Nissan Leaf with 90 mile battery range. She lived 89 miles from the dealer. OK! Well seems no one explained that batteries lose ability to hold their maximum electricity capacity quickly then start to slowly lower their maximum level. Soon the lady was unable to drive the car back to the dealer and had to have the car towed in for repairs. The first repair was...... you guessed it..... lack of battery range. Of course she got a detailed discussion on how batteries deal with capacity over their lifespan.
Many, many moons ago (a little indian lingo there) I learned that fast charging a battery cuts short the overall life of the battery. As was already stated, I just love POURING gasoline energy into my automobile. Works every time it’s tried!
