This is absolutely true, but IMO also a much smaller problem than some people are making it out to be. Without any special car-charging equipment, just with a regular outlet, I'm able to get over 100 miles of range every night (charging only from 11pm to 7am). This is enough for a pretty long daily commute and it doesn't block car use during normal hours. Big disclaimer - I'm from Europe, which helps my case because of shorter commutes and faster home charging with 220 volts. But at the end of the day I think the solution lies in equipping all parking spaces at home and at work with power outlets. DCFC is definitely needed, but should be viewed as a solution for exceptional cases (i.e. roadtrip that exceeds your range), not a gas station for EVs. | ||
