eStangs were everywhere on my trip to Norway - cheap electricity and expensive petrol - twisty and hilly roads - EV country …
Might as well move to Wisconsin where it's illegal to sell brand new Teslas. I had to drive out of state just to get it. Once it's used and a dealer has it, it's fine though. If they do any ICE ban it'll probably be after another 40 ban it, so I don't see it happening here.
Other blue states are hooking up left and right.
Curious... How many EV owners have you talked to about this? If charging was so bad why are EVs taking market share and why is customer satisfaction so high (at least for Teslas)?
My take is, depending on your use case, the right EV makes life pretty simple.
It is not a fact.
I'm ready to fully convert. I just needed to try it first. I think that's true for a lot of people and would explain why sales continue to increase as people get to know others that do it.
I would love to if I could only find one. Since we moved here 4 years ago, I have seen a grand total of 2 of them.
I’ve only known one owner. She had the Tesla for 2 or 3 years then she sold it.
There are nowhere near enough charging stations to support widespread EV use out here. Fortunately because there are so few of them, it isn't an issue.
If you want to use the EV pickup as a lifestyle vehicle and the bed hardly sees any loads and you don't tow anything, it will work for you for the trips to the supermarket and mall.

The charging network is growing. Do you keep track of the growth-or do you "just know this"?

I come home and plug in. I have only been on a Supercharger twice. 1st time for 5 minutes to see how it worked and 2nd time to top up for 20 minutes on a 200 mile round trip when I started without a full charge. 10 minutes would have been enough.
So in 4.5 years I have been on a Supercharger for less than 30 minutes and during that time I got a Starbucks and a sandwich. Basically parking lot time...
What percentage of battery recharging happened in 30 min ?
Im seriously considering a Tesla next year.
So what are you basing your thoughts on? I only ask because I have found these cars are different than people think.
They are not for everyone, for sure. But as an owner, I can tell you that much of the things you see posted are far from owner experience.
It sounds funny, but I am getting sick and tired of gassing up cars. Even driving our GS, which is a great car, makes me feel like I am trhowing away money just driving it. You change, at least that's my experience.
Agree-I don't know how anybody would buy these thinking they could tow significant distances....but that's just me.
I am not sure that's a good foundation for understanding EV ownership...
EVs are not for everyone, but ownership is far different that many of these posts.
I have no idea what you are asking? You wanted me to say what experiences with other EV owners I have had and I told you with just the one owner experience. It’s not like everyone around here is driving a EV.
I spend more time in grocery store lines than at service stations but I don’t hate grocery stores. Hate is a frequently misused word these days.
