    All this ev charging on the road and most especially at home and the power grid is not, I say not set-up for ut. Hey , these days, our heat and air systems being on can and do cause brown outs, and the government wants to add millions of ev’s. Our power grid is very old and was not designed for powering devises we use already, and you want to add power hungering ev’s.

    It’s only there was a company that built a nationwide supercharging network that was flawless and had 99.9% reliability

    There’s not exactly a lot of sun and wind where I live

    We’re going to get all this electricity?

    If it isn’t a Tesla then wait 5 more years!

    I’ll be glad when all this electric car hype is over,again. It’s dying anyways.There won’t be more charging stations. They’ll start getting rid of the ones we got now in a few years. Most of them don’t work.

      The usual, smug try-hards think they’re obligated to make EVs work.

    The only large EV charging company which has not sucked so far is Tesla. The other big EV charging companies like EA and EVgo only care about how many new charging locations they can install. They do not care at all about keeping their existing charging stations working, nor about all the inconvenience and stupidity with trying to connect to one of their very few working chargers. Allowing non-Tesla vehicles to charge at Tesla will run some of the other charging companies out of business. (No, I am not a Tesla fan. Elon is a bigot.)

    my problem is I want 350+ miles consistently because it takes so long to charge but that’s just an unrealistic expectation

    0:45 I guess this was recorded before VAG announced in early December about them joining the NACS (SAE J3400) standard.

    Stop trying to sell it. People do not want electric.

    Glad to see systematic approach to it. Looking forward to doing cross country in couple of years on EV.

    Cool vid. Thx for making. I enjoyed watching. BTW, three of those NEVI sites already opened in December.

    When I was a kid, I used to be a try-hard. I would try to make different products popular, I’d try to make words I made up popular. Nothing took. I realized, you’d need to be a celebrity to make that happen with a well-funded, clever ad campaign, and even that’s not a guarantee. Secondly, your stuff just has to work and be better. It has to be smarter.

    When I see EVs, I’m reminded of how I used to be and how kids are today and were back then. Certain people just want to make it happen because of the media and misinformation. Some people think EVs are new. Some think they’re hi-tech. Some think that because it has no engine, not much fluids, doesn’t make a noise or emit anything, it’s better.

    It’s just not. It has serious issues. They shouldn’t be sold to the public. A lot of EV drivers are smug and think they are smarter than everyone but they’re just waiting to learn the hard way.

    ICE cars are annoying, I won’t lie. But they work and get the job done. They can last for decades if taken care of. I love new tech but am not a fan of EVs. I was actually considering getting one when Bolts were cheap. I noped out of it. Way too many red flags came up I didn’t even think of before I even saw the listing. It’s just not worth it. Without all the hype and the lies, no one would touch them if they had a brain.

    I feel like EVs will end up like ultrawides again. You’ll see people quietly dropping them and even the diehards will be muttering quietly something like “I had kids” or “I went on too many road trips and I couldn’t make it work…”

    They haven’t even been able to make hybrids standard after two decades. I don’t think that’s happening either.

    These range claims don’t take into account cold weather’s effect on batteries. Reduce the range by 25-%33%.

    CNET and MKBHD want us to drive a plastic box with a battery, living in 15min cities lol

    300 miles is paltry for evacuating from hurricanes. They need to improve battery technology to atleast 700.

    There is no point in buying an EV in California as PGE has raised prices in ‘24 to make it equivalent to owning an ICE. I’m going back to ICE once my free EA charging is up.

    They can build all the chargers they want. I’m not interested.
