  • When I first got an ev I was like “wow, can’t wait for there to be so many more charging stations replacing gas stations.”

    Then I “got” it. You don’t need to charge anywhere but at home unless you are doing road trips.

    When I switched back to an ice vehicle (needed a truck, am not millionaire) going to the gas station was the worst punishment ever.

    It’s like, imagine if you had to go somewhere and plug in your phone to charge it every few days. Wouldn’t that suck? I lived the dream of going home and plugging my car in, like I do my phone on my nightstand. It’s always full in the morning, I never have to stop at a gas station when I just want to get home after work, I don’t have to stand in the freezing cold as the pump slowly ticks along.

    I hope to live that paradise again soon.





  • I’m on both sides of this. Had an EV for nearly 4 years and had to go back to gas for work (construction, moving/having tools, materials and supplies).

    I cannot wait for an affordable small ev pickup. Even a not that affordable one. I just can’t do $100k for an oversized monster like the Lightning. But give me a $60k Ranger/Frontier style (basically the smallest truck they make these days, without a full SUV on the front) and 500km range and I’m in.

    I hate getting gas. I hate it so much.
