Alt text:

An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

Why do people still pretend it takes longer than 20 minutes to get a 50% charge increase?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Because it's currently easier to find a gas station than a charger that will do that performance. Now I'm willing to wait 8 hrs for 10%, but others certainly aren't.

You must live in a red state or the middle of nowhere. It's easy to find chargers everywhere I've been.

My parents live in the sticks, in a red state, and I have no problem finding charging stations within twenty miles from them.
