The nearest EV station is 30 miles from here. And yet four new gas stations are going in within ten miles of here. Obviously not everyone has taken the EV bait.
You are the outlier, most of the population lives in urban areas by a break three to one ratio vs rural. Including the suburbs that tips farther to the urban areas. The issue is a lot of people live in apartments so they would need access to HVDC chargers once a week or so. Most urbanites drive 40 miles or less per day and under 13000 total for a year including road trips. Suburbanites have garages which can be wired with dryer sized plugs mine has two of them one in each wall with 80 amp breakers and we are a new build so 300 amp service is code minimums for new builds here now you can get 400 amp service too. I rent model 3 and model S teslas fairly regularly for the FSD tech these cars drive themselves on the motorways and in bumper to bumper Houston grid lock. Texas us blanketed with super chargers I have never spent more than 20 min at a supercharger to get back to 75%+ SOC enough to get to my hotel with a reserved spot and a L2 charger or better. Austin is nonstop ,Houston is one stop at 20 min or less. New Orleans is two stops in a Model 3 or one in the S. Either way my.bladder has less range than the tesla from stop to stop. Teslas are also cheaper by the day than nearly every other hertz car especially if you have an LLC and get corp rates. My next commuter car is a Model 3 with FSD a AWD LR with the LFP cells that cannot blow up the chemistry is wrong. Tesla uses the same cells as BYD blade packs and BYD punches a steel spike through the blade pack and it just sits there no fire nothing impressive happens at all. LFP are the future the energy density is still too low for long range EV where people.demand 400 miles range. I’ll take 325mi all day with 150kw HVDC it takes 15min to add 200 miles and three hours of drive time again more than the bladder will take. EVs have a place in the urban areas and if there is a dense supercharger network they work out well. I have never felt range anxiety in Texas our highways are blanketed every 25 to 50 miles with a HVDC spot the car will self guide to one of it gets low. For the one or two trips per year over 600 miles I’ll rent a large SUV with unlimited miles and pack it full of hunting and fishing gear plus tow my boat with it on someone’s depreciation schedule.
