Default Another thing about electric cars

Tim+ formulated on Sunday :
Without a doubt the charging network isnt €śup to speed€ť yet and its gonna
take some time.


I suspect it will never be adequate, because of the infrastructure
needed to support it.

For many folk though, the vast majority of charging will
be done at home so the quality of the charging network isnt a major issue.
For these for (like myself) an EV makes an enormous amount of sense.


Yes, I can see the point where a driver does a shorter range regular
trip most all of the time and can charge at home.

I am the opposite, now retired - I never use the car for short
journeys, I either walk or use public transport. My car is only used
for much longer trips. When I was working, I drove many miles per day,
no regular routes, no chance to work out where I could recharge if I
were to run out of juice and no certainty of even getting home the same
day. Often setting off, I would be redirected at least once on route to
my planned destination.
