    When I first got an ev I was like “wow, can’t wait for there to be so many more charging stations replacing gas stations.”

    Then I “got” it. You don’t need to charge anywhere but at home unless you are doing road trips.

    When I switched back to an ice vehicle (needed a truck, am not millionaire) going to the gas station was the worst punishment ever.

    It’s like, imagine if you had to go somewhere and plug in your phone to charge it every few days. Wouldn’t that suck? I lived the dream of going home and plugging my car in, like I do my phone on my nightstand. It’s always full in the morning, I never have to stop at a gas station when I just want to get home after work, I don’t have to stand in the freezing cold as the pump slowly ticks along.

    I hope to live that paradise again soon.
