This has become less of a problem now that Tesla appears to have won the charging wars. The NACS plug will likely be the standard going forward, giving more people access to Tesla’s remarkable charging stations. And thanks to the government, billions will be spent expanding the grid.
But even considering all of this, we still see some problems in the future. In high-density areas, Supercharger stations are often flooded during peak hours. The average time spent at a charging station is also much higher than the average gas station, where you pull up, fill up, and bail.
And while this may seem like a stupid point to make, we have to consider future service station costs. If you own a gas-powered car, you’re in and out within minutes. But in a best-case scenario, you’ll spend 15 minutes at a charging station. We think 30 minutes is more accurate, as not all stations can access a car’s full charging potential.
EV makers include several features to keep you entertained. You can play games or watch YouTube, and we all know what will happen. You’re not just going to sit there and watch YouTube for 30 minutes. You’ll inevitably end up spending $10 on snacks in the shop. This is a prime example of unintended bad things about electric cars.
Luckily, Porsche will keep its customers slim by giving them access to a gym.
