    IDK about you, but when I’m on a road trip I just want to get from point A to B as quick as possible. And if I stop I want it to be somewhere nice. Not a gas station/charge station. A 5 minute leg stretch is plenty.

      i remember thinking that ev drivers were lucky because the range didn’t enable them to drive 20 hours non-stop averaging around 75 miles per hour like i had to to do at the time. lol

      The thing with charge stations is they need way less hardware so you can build them in more places. For level 1 or 2 you only need normal power lines don’t even need those big boxes, so more places with level 2 would allow you to charge in destinations where you’d want to stop for hours. While fast charging takes way less space than a gas station would need too so it can be built closer to where people actually want to stop too (instead of had to stop)
