I have driven a tesla now for four years. It charges at 30 miles an hour at home with a 50 amp plug. What in the hell are you blabbering about?

What? My wife can charge her car all the way at home. And why does it matter if it takes all night. Do you sleep better knowing you have a full tank versus a 1/4 tank of gas. Such a bizarre point.

I’m glad you like spending so much of your life at gas stations. Thats cool I guess.

Have a few people in here who really love going to gas stations so they can sneak in a corn dog without their wife bitching at them because they’re supposed to be on a diet for their diabetes. I think they’re just getting defensive and ignoring all logic.

Im sure he can.
Spending 5mins at a gas station vs 30mins at a charger and spending the same amount for less miles isnt for the high performance males

she’s never spent 30 minutes at a charger. She spends 3 secs a week plugging it in at home. Have fun hanging out at gas stations.

These guys think EVs charge at the rate you can charge an EV flat towing. I wish we could have at thread for reasonably minded posters on this topic. It could start with laying out where the tech currently is and go from there. I'm all for people not being pushed into EVs if they do not want them, but you guys are really far off on some of these points here.

The proper translation:

Missing of logic liberals are calling "punitive."

Or, the proper translation:

EV owners will have to start paying an annual fee, since they skirt the taxes that the rest of us have to pay.

Yeah, spending an hour at a charging station sounds way better.


The vast majority of charging takes place at home while sleeping, eating, having a drink, taking a shite, banging your wife, etc.

Why are people so retarded on here? We dont ever go to a charging station. We just charge at home. I spend way less time charging the EV than you do at gas stations with trashy gas station people.

You are embarrassing yourself. I never use a charging station. I get all I need at home. Use ICE for long road trips which is only once, maybe twice a year. I've driven to Austin and Orange Beach with an EV and it was hassle free though.

Seriously, you are no better than the mindless woke people. You have a "team" and you will believe whatever your team wants you to believe.

No, they need to be paying a grid upgrade fee, a couple hundred EV's added to our Feb 21 freeze and the grid would have absolutely melted critical components and then been down for weeks....then elitists democrats like yourself would have been all to happy to lay the credit on Abbott.

Ignoring the fact that EVs stop charging when the grid starts to destabilize, thus shedding the load, do you think having a shite load of distributed storage is a good or bad thing?

Imagine being so brainwashed that you blame car owners for your state’s shitty electrical grid. Try looking at your elected officials and energy providers.

God damnyou people are both obnoxious and ignorant at the same time.

There are 250 million ICE vehicles in the country. Where will the chargers be for all of them in 10 or 15 years? Where will the electricity come from?
