Putting gas in your car out in the cold will still take you 5 minutes, and I'd rather sit down or take a nap, because I'm old lol.

Do you not need at least a 10 minute pee break every 500 km of driving?!

Also for the 99% of your life when you're not road tripping, you don't even have to go to a gas station anymore. You just plug it in at work or home and go on with your day. All those detours and 5 minutes of standing there out in the cold/rain adds up over a lifetime!

I still don't understand this one. I've literally never had to worry about paying a penalty in 8 years of owning EVs. Every EV I've owned has drastically slowed down charging after 80%, and it could be sitting there an hour before hitting 100%.

edit: just saw your comment on the congestion charge thing. sounds like a Tesla supercharger thing. never heard of that til now lol

I don't like dealing with bums coming up to me for money at gas stations. I've also had the gas pump trigger get jammed and shoot gas everywhere as I ran screaming for the station attendant. You're gonna have to deal with something no matter what kinda car it is .

Why would you do that? That's like shutting off your AC because you don't want to waste gas. It is retarded so don't do it!
