Hobz's rant seems pretty normal for a guy who did an impulse buy.

Things I've learned from this thread even though I won't be buying an EV any time soon because the upfront cost isn't worth it for the amount of kms I do per year.

1) not all cars charge the same even if you use the same level 1 2 3 4 5 6 whatever charge is offered. RZD has told us time and time again the different tiers of charging capabilities.
2) charging tech is all about the car itself, the telsa wiring you used is called some other dumb thing like EVSE because it's not technically a charger.
3) if you're not charging at home expect to pay rates similar to filling up a gas tank.
4) going far? Expect to plan your stops at chargers.
5) if you don't charge at home or free at work, don't buy an EV because doing it strictly in public is a chore that we don't need in our life.
6) ask RZD first if I should buy it cuz he will eliminate all the research I would have needed to do myself since he knows all.
