PlugShare has a notes section for each charger usually the details can be found there. Also read the check-ins and see if people on road trips are charging there.

Yes those ICE cars are quite dangerous and I'm glad I only have electric vehicles parked in my garage. Much much safer.

Solid state batteries are still a ways off sadly and are proving to be more difficult then originally thought. Toyota is far behind in battery tech but has a great PR dept that loves to use the words "technological breakthrough" having said this many times about it's hydrogen concepts. BYD 2nd...

From what I gather it’s both. While the glut of cells should resolve itself fairly soon the cost will keep falling with the advent of the latest lithium iron variants by CATL and BYD. These really are game changing technologies. Smaller, lighter, cheaper, more energy dense. They also don’t...

If said company pays for the fuel and maintenance on these vehicles then it's a no brainier.

Might be tricky to get a good idea on charging costs in the wild since there are so many choices of electrons anymore from free at certain malls and stores to higher cost at rapid chargers. Honestly I haven't seen lifetime cost data from only fast charging but yes it has to be more. However even...

With fuel and maintenance total ownership cost passed parity a while ago. Sadly there are a lot of hard core anti EV people out there for whom it will take a rather large savings to finally convince. But that is coming and fast.

I personally think falling battery price alone will determine adoption speed ICE to EV over all other factors in the next few years. Current price is somewhere around $109/kwh with the advent of the latest LiFePo4 technology coming out of China. By year end is expected to be in the $70 range...

Yea not what I had typed but still gets the idea across I guess.

With so many financed hit pieces being churned out by every media org it’s hard to tell what is the truth and what is pure nostrilsnot

Unless the car is doing the driving and you are just a systems monitor. That is the way I drive anymore. Reminds me a lot of flying on autopilot where you don't concern yourself with the heading and altitude hold drudgery but instead relax and take in the big picture.

I know there are EV owners that want to go back but it's people that are stuck with an inferior charging network and like you mentioned, those with no charging at home. If someone told me that 50% of Mach E or1st Gen Leaf or Focus EV etc owners, who have to use the Electrify America or Blue...

The part about combining polling since 2021 is somewhat concerning as to the freshness of the data. Although I can see if they asked people stuck with using non NACS charging networks that might tend to tug that number in the wrong direction.

Obviously no one asked me or any of the other EV owners around here. But I wondered about this and did a bit of reading. https://cleantechnica.com/2024/06/27/unpacking-the-mckinsey-mobility-consumer-survey-henny-penny-edition/

I've had a Tesla for over 6 years now and live in a state bordering Canada. It's kind of the middle of nowhere and it gets f'ing cold here. Never had a problem with the cold or charging infrastructure. This nonsense that EV die on cold days is about as true as the rumors they burst into flames...

Spend enough money and you can make people believe anything. Look how long tobacco companies had smokers convinced cigarettes were healthy.

On a full battery I can go about 75 hours just running heat.

Now that you mention it I do remember almost making that mistake in Singapore. Alcohol was also a factor that night. ;)

I never count on sounds to warn of traffic but instead my eyes and looking both ways like we learned as kids. Also duck and cover.
