That’s an incredibly weird take. How did you get to that from a complaint about how hard it was to find a decent charger?

My example wasn’t even about a long drive, just being in a town with only 3 high speed chargers and over the course of a week I got to drive well out of my way and sit and wait for a turn at the Walmart twice. If I’d had a gas car I could’ve filled up at the many many stations nearby so it was an example of why I still wouldn’t rent one when traveling. Hell lookup driving to Yellowstone for an easy example of a route with limited chargers for the large number of summer tourists.

Did you miss the part where I love actually owning one?

Maybe it’s an LLM bot set to act contrarian?

stopping every 4-6 hours for a 20-30 minute break

An EV that drives for 6h and is charged up in 30min? This has to be an hallucination.

It would be great to have this kind of range though.

This hurts my soul.
