EV Owner’s Confessions
EVA England asked Twitter what you wish you knew about your EV before you bought it. Here are some answers from owners overseas and in the States:
The top positive answer was about how little they actually used public charging. Charging at home or at the job does the trick for most.
Second up: EVs offer a pleasurable driving experience, especially on long road trips
Followed by: How much $ is saved, How fun they are to drive and if they knew all of this – they would have gotten one sooner.
Alternatively, some found that those who use the public charging find the infrastructure lacking.
There are many issues with non-Tesla chargers.
Charger’s speed is only a guide not a guarantee (meaning that your charge time could be longer than expected)
The range indicated isn’t real-world- it depends on so many factors, or range isn’t sufficient for needs
Finally, one guy said they are boring to drive 😳
