I'll stay a dinosaur and enjoy what I have.
There's a real push back by many automakers on the whole electric thing.

The actual experience of the Truths to owning an EV is what I am wanting to share. Good bad and whatever which I will post and video. I am now at a Supercharging Station and just at 80% charge from 74% charge 15 minutes in and so far costing me $3.87

CC is no longer practicing what he preaches. His new screen name is PAVAtrader.
Thatā€™s kind of an ignorant thing to say!(n) I donā€™t blame CC for wanting to check out new things if he can afford it. Of course, I agree it is a little sacrilegious to even think about getting an EV. Stellantis does not have any comparable EV to offer right now but hope they come up with something to blow away that Mustang and the Teslaā€™s.

That info has been in question since day 1! It will be good to get updates. How are you charging it at home? Are the connectors in the car universal or do they vary with some manufacturers? I sure donā€™t like the dial shifterā€¦

I almost bought an electric car back in 2016 when they first where coming out. I had a 45 mile drive to work everyday and they offered free charging. It would have been worth it. Charge there on friday drive around all weekend go back Monday and charge for free again. But I ended up leaving the company shortly after this.
If my my current employer offered something like that. I'd buy one no questions asked.
Will I buy one if it isn't for that? Heck no!
What would be the difference if they just paid the gas and it wasn't electric? I know people that have companies cars they drive all the time and don't pay for the gas

Oh so actually I happens to meet a tech guy who works on these and gave me great info. These are not fast charging stations. They are 150kw versus 350kw. But and a huge butt there are not many fast charging stations aroundā€¦.wow. Here is the end result.

I think you are going to uncover even more reasons not to own one that most people don't know about

So you sat there for 27 minutes and the power cost you $5.47 for 25%. I guess that translates to about 108 minutes of charging time if you were ā€œemptyā€ to get a charge to ā€œfullā€ for about $22? That seems pretty slow but is it a ā€œfast chargeā€ station? How do you feel about it so far? Do you have a map of local charging stations?

If heā€™s at 81%, it took 27 minutes to add 7%. So more like 4 minutes for each %?

You know, just began writing this when the last thoughts flew in,,, this has started stinking a while back. It is getting worse every day. This rat is decomposing fast. Players are; Washington, hell yea, auto maker's taking $$$ tax reimbursements. Whom is backing R & D?? The auto industry can not be this blind sided to replace a 2,000 year old Dina sore in the ground with another one in Iran?? Talking about diplomacy. I read 20 years ago, when we got into a petroleum pickle, that Mexico is our go to fuel supplier. We are going to starve and freeze to death before some one has a 10 year plan?? These idiots in DC have got to be replaced, but with what??

It was only 7% in 27 minutes not 25%. Thatā€™s more like a cost of $78 instead of $22 to go from empty to full chargeā€¦and over 6 hours waiting timeā€¦plus the electricity to charge it comes mostly from fossil fuel. We are never going to provide all the energy we need from water, solar and wind generators.

Well, I beez with ha. I have gotten to the point where I can't watch the news any more. I am so embarrassed to be here watching the Russian crap and listening to the Dem administration. All lies and that is why this EV situation is crap.
