[quote=Anonymous]Something you may not realize: you can hang out in your car with the climate control on while it's charging. It's not like you're plugging it in and standing there staring at it along the side of a highway for 30 minutes. You can be sitting in it checking your email, reading a book, whatever. A lot of chargers are also located in outlet malls or shopping centers so you can grab a bite, too, but in my practical experience, being able to sit in the car while it charges with the ac or the heat going is a very handy thing.

This basic concept: that you're driving a self-contained pod with no emissions and wifi is something more electric car manufacturers should play up, especially in the age of covid. In line for 30 mins at school pick up? Your electric car's got you. Need to run in to the store and leave the dog? Tesla even has a "dog" mode. Leaving your car on will never give anyone carbon monoxide poisoning. You can even camp in it.

I've never found the five minutes spent pumping gas to be that much more enjoyable than taking a break after a few hours driving and having a place to hang out as needed. Especially in the age of covid.[/quote]
