    No idea what your situation is, but mine takes 30 seconds to charge and has enough range to cover my daily commute for a week.

        It’s not literal. But the idea is you plug it in in the evening, and in the morning you unplug it fully charged, which all told takes less than 30s of you having to do anything.

          Problem is, that only works if you have a place to plug it in. I would have gotten an EV by now if I didn’t have outdoor parking in a shared lot.

            This is a very fair concern with a lot of people switching to EV. I’m lucky enough to be a homeowner with a garage, but if you don’t have a good charging solution either at work or home? EV isn’t right for you today.

            One of the best parts of them is that I’ve had to stop to charge in route twice in 4 years of ownership.

            Depending on your location, many municipalities are starting to cover the costs of installing EV charging stations at apartments. They usually ask you to pay a monthly fee for the service.
