Funny this is still a thing people doubt. Scandinavia here - we love our EVs and especially in the winter when they heat up themselves and always start on the first try.
My coworkers are worried they'd have to charge their cars every other day.... At their home charger.... Seems like such a hassle to do I guess.
That's what you do. Awesome to always have a "full tank of gas" when you suddenly need to drive somewhere you hadn't planned for.
Fossil fueled cars also lose range in the winter so it's all just about whether your car has range enough for your needs.
People plug in their phone every night and it's fine but doing the same for the car is too much?
EV owner here, you definitely don't unless you are commuting really far every day. EVs these days have comparable range to a petrol car.
We charge a full charge maybe once or twice in two weeks? Driving two kids to and from two different schools every day, two trips to the gym every week, maybe a slight detour for grocery shopping.
The battery is so beast in a mediumish city. We don't even have a charger, we just charge at the cheapest place in town, near the gym. Drive there then walk 5 mins to the gym, spend about 2–3h a time at the gym, fill up about 20–40% twice a week for like $3–$6 a pop. Nothing money. A lot less than we paid for gas before, and a lot more than we'd pay if we did have our own charger.
What's the fav EV in your side of Earth?
VW ID.7 is usually the monthly best seller atm and is the one we've had ourselves since 1.5 years now. Awesome car - vastly superiour to our previous Tesla Model 3.
