I don't agree. It's way way better than charging an electric battery. For those who can't charge at home this is a real pain in the ass right now and a big time waster (which driving already is compared to public transport where you can at least do something with that time, like read, study, watch something)

Charging at home is a time waster? You just plug it in right? Idk where the waste is there.

In the US driving isn't really a time waster compared to public trans because pub trans is usually slow, doesn't take you to your destination so you gotta walk, doesn't come frequently and you put yourself in more physical danger. Hard to read when there is a guy tweaking next to you.

The costs of doing this plan mean that it will absolutely never happen. The grid is there, super chargers are easy to use, no fluid storage or machines to manage fluids. No fluid leaks, no extra infra.

Plus battery tech and ability to recharge is always changing.

No, I mean it wastes time if you can't charge at home because you have to regularly wait while it charges elsewhere.

You can sometimes combine it with a shopping spree or something but if you don't happen to need to do that (which for me is most of the time) you're stuck waiting.

I mean when I still had a car I used to hate going out just for a tank run (like before a night trip to the airport) and the station was within half a mile. I couldn't do that every few days plus have to wait around for that thing to charge. My car was to make my life easier, not harder (and even then it failed at that because I hate driving so much). Glad I live in a city now with amazing public transport.
