Yeah, someone from the UK lecturing Americans on how EV infrastructure is just fine is rich.
I wasn’t “lecturing” anyone. I was sharing my experiences and knowledge. Isn’t that what we’re here for?
There are EVs capable of getting them pretty much anywhere in their country on a single charge.
Nope. If I want to go from basically anywhere in Wales to London, then I’m charging partway there.
Meanwhile, I wouldn’t be able to visit my parents two states away without needing to charge halfway through.
Correct. Do you normally do 600 miles in one go without a toilet/comfort/food break? You don’t stop at all? If that’s the case then you shouldn’t be driving, as that’s dangerous. And you might have dehydration.
People seem to think that EV owners have only ever owned an EV. No, I’ve been driving for 20 years and owning an EV for 1. I wouldn’t go back. The EV experience is vastly superior to the ICE experience where it counts. It’s not universally better for every possible measure but I’m more than happy with the trade-offs. I did my homework and it’s been a perfectly pleasant experience.

It’s fine. Really.
