Yet another reason that people don't want to buy EV's. It takes 5 minutes to fill up a gas tank and there are gas stations all over the place.

>Given that a lack of public charging is turning many consumers off to EVs, according to multiple surveys, this is a major issue. Both Electrify America and EVgo said they are rapidly expanding their networks to, as EVgo's Rafalson put it, "skate ahead of the puck," trying to make sure there are enough chargers to meet future demand... "I think what you're seeing is demand for public fast charging is really skyrocketing," said Sara Rafalson, executive vice president for policy at EV charging company EVgo, "and I would say we've been really at an inflection point in the last year, year and a half, with demand...."

I drive a 20-ish year old vehicle. I work on it myself most of the time and just had to put some new tires on it. I am not giving this thing up. Even if the engine blows ill probably just get a new (used) one put in so long as the rest of the body/mechanics are working well. EV's cost too much and are extremely inconvenient.

There is a reason why MOST ev owners are saying they wont buy another one and want to get rid of the one they have.

Unfortunately for them, an EV is inherently worthless.

If I could buy one cheap that has at least a 150 mile range and I could charge it at home I would consider having one as the "errand runner". Otherwise, I have no need or want for one. I don't live in the extremely concentrated east or west and things like this are just not useful for someone like me, or most of the general population that "drives" as a whole.

Maybe that could work, and they should be super cheap used because repairs are so fucking expensive.

Other than that, could maybe use one on private land, if any of them could do what would be needed.

That's about all I think.
