    As someone who lives in an apartment who cannot charge their EV at home, charging at public 6.6/12kw and fast chargers is more than enough to keep my battery filled, sure its like 2~5x more expensive than charging at your own home, but it’s still like 4x cheaper than what I was paying in gas per month comparatively.

      Yeah it can be done for some. Probably wouldn’t work for myself though as I have a 150km commute to work each day so probably would have to sit and recharge at a public station every second day if not more. So 2 hours of commuting turns into 2.5+ hours.

        Yea, its still unfeasible for many people with long drives to work or school- or infrastructure around them which isn’t fast enough or built at all.

        The newest and best offers for sale nowadays could probably suit you- 300mi/480km~ is pretty common nowadays and the Ioniq 5/Ev6 charge back up to near full in about 30~ mins. But those cars are out of reach for anyone out of middle income/higher middle income.
