City car only, too and from work. Anything that requires more than 100km, im taking a gasoline car. How can a trip to seattle require 3 god damn stops for eletricity and basically an hour of your life waiting on a stupid car. In an ICE car thats at best 1 gas stop, 3 minutes, and youre good to go. No checking the app, no worrying about unplugging your shit, NOTHING.

Oh, hobzy hob, why on earth did you take the liberal pride to road trip?
A lot of people bitch about ev sucks or whatever, I can almost always guarantee that they drive something other than Tesla. Not all people I know who switched to ev liked the experience, but every person I know who switched to Tesla ended up buying more than one.
As a city car, any ev is the same imo. But if one’s buying ev as their main car, please for the love of god, don’t buy anything that’s not a Tesla.
Don’t listen to the shit aztulzer is feeding. Yes. They charge faster. But he never mention that the ux sucks on them for roadtrip. Most Tesla sc aren’t designed with other ev in mind. So you run into the problem that hobz is facing where he parks like ass to make it. Not to mention they are more expensive to charge. Tesla by default makes charging other EVs more $$$. Then the fact that al other carmakers just stuff humongous battery to hide the fact that their motor is inefficient as fuck. So you end up paying more to charge and not save a whole lot of time because you need more electron to flow through.
In the ev world, it’s still Tesla vs. others. By getting any ev that’s not Tesla, you are taking compromise to your experience. Pure city driving where one always charge at home, this is not a huge issue. Anything beyond that, those compromises would start to show its effects very quickly.
