[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an EV owner. You picked the wrong type of charger. There are essentially three types: 1. The very slow type they you can plug in at home into a standard outlet. These can take like 20 hours for a full charge. 2 Public chargers that are slow. Might take 10-12 hours for a full charge. These can be installed at home but need a special outlet usually by an electrician. The outlet looks like a dryer outlet. 3 Fast chargers that can charge in about an hour.

Almost all public charging apps let’s you search for one of the latter two types and filter by type. You just need to know which kind you’re looking for. The fast ones are generally called “DC Fast” chargers. [/quote]

Thanks for the tip - there are very few of these where I am, but some, so will try that! Still a total PITA to have to charge for what I'm assuming is at least 15 min?[/quote]
We have one Tesla, one diesel car and one regular. It’s easier to find a Tesla charger on a road trip than a diesel pump in some places. I also don’t recall being in and out of a gas station in much less than 15 mins, and I certainly need to stop and get food or use the bathroom for more than 15 mins on a roadtrip. At home I just plug out charger in every few nights and it’s fully charged when I want to go again. Our range is 330 so I only need that every few days. Finally, we have Tesla solar panels and power walls so not only is it free to charge, I also run part of our house on solar and never have to deal with a power outage. [/quote]
