    Sure, but gas station availability is still significantly different than charger availability. And I don’t have to wait an hour at the gas station. False equivalency.

      You don’t have to wait an hour. False premise.

            When it changes from pretty close to yes, then it won’t be a false equivalency and I’d probably be in the market.

            Edit: anyone disagreeing, can you explain how a technology that asks some population to change their behavior is expected to succeed? The EV asks its buyers to change their habits. It asks you to take the hit for the climate – while simultaneously using technologies like modern batteries which are straight up bad for the climate.

            Asking these things to be at parity with gas (as in, can I fill my electric car with power with the same speed as a gas car) is not a lofty goal. It is the baseline goal for any other technology. EV tech will remain outside of the norm until those issues are addressed. The intentions don’t matter.
