  1. I'm a bit confused by this story. Why choose to do a story specifically on a person who owns a Hyundai and uses charger stations known to not be reliable? Tesla sells 50% of EVs in ths U.S. at time of writing and their chargers have a 99% up time, thus this is the vast majority of people's experiences, not what you have shown here. Why the vast majority, because again most EV purchases in the U.S. are far and away Tesla and thus they have access to an incredibly reliable network. Seems like you're giving people a bad impression that's not actually true to reality for the majority of EV owners in the U.S. There's a company that's doing it right in the U.S. for the majority of EV buyers and yet you show this.
    Do we still need to improve infrastructure, of course! But why show charging stations of a companies that are barely trying at charging and ignore the massive 600lb gorilla in the room with the biggest and rapidly expanding charging network that makes reliable charging a priority?

  2. It's one of the reasons why most car manufacturers are swapping to Tesla Superchargers, it's basically the only reliable one around the country. The other companies are just stealing our federal funds and putting out the cheapest product they could have, thus all the problems.

  3. I'm guessing no one forced him to buy an electric vehicle. They might be ok for daily short commutes or around town. But a road trip? No way. Lots of hidden costs. Like if one tire fails, have to replace all of them on the drive wheels. Vehicles are so heavy you have to replace the tires at 20k miles. Tires cost at least 2x what gasoline cars cost. A lot of parking garages won't allow them because of weight and fire hazard.

  4. When President Obama wanted to invest in charging stations etc in 2014 ish, Flori-duh politicians were against it because he was merican. Now your complaining about finally getting it and its πŸ’©. Those in northeast that did invest have workout problems and theyre widely available while you whine…..Flori-duh πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ thought yall LOVE GAS AND DRILL BABY DRILL πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ chickens coming home to roost πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
