Yes and no.
The EV refueling infrastructure while on the road is kinda shit.
The home refueling infrastructure for gasoline cars is really, really shit.
And so if you aren't a home owner then the ev refuling is shit.
Renters can have home charging, too. Just need an outlet.
For 2-3 miles of range an hour ? https://www.tesla.com/support/charging
Also not all renters have access to sockets. The last complex I rented at years ago had zero outlets in thier parking lot.
A 240v 40A dryer outlet delivers 30mph which is more than plenty for home charging
Which you'd have to lay to run a line. Having to run dozens or hundreds of them fir an apartment complex requires a lot if money
And if you’re in a European city without off-road parking, at-home refuelling for EVs is shit too.
I love these crazy comparisons you people make. Nobody gives a fuck if they have to stop 2 minutes to refuel. 5 minutes if there is a line. Nobody wants to take an hour long wait for a charge port.
It's like none of you have ever traveled for the holidays.
