Alt text:

An idling gas engine may be annoyingly loud, but that's the price you pay for having WAY less torque available at a standstill.

Why do people still pretend it takes longer than 20 minutes to get a 50% charge increase?

[–] shield_gengar@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because it's currently easier to find a gas station than a charger that will do that performance. Now I'm willing to wait 8 hrs for 10%, but others certainly aren't.

You must live in a red state or the middle of nowhere. It's easy to find chargers everywhere I've been.

Yes, my point. I have to charge my car at home because of charging stations are either far, or Tesla owners park in them to do shopping.

Saying I live somewhere shit doesn't disprove my point that gas is more readily available.
