[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the people complaining about how long it takes to charge an electric car. Rent a Tesla, take a road trip. Decide if it’s inconvenient or not for your lifestyle. The amount of baseless speculation is just ridiculous.[/quote]

Why? Can't we just keep going with our gas or hybrid vehicles?[/quote]

Of course you can, nobody is stopping you.

PP was just pointing out that all the people who have never even driven an electric car much less taken one on a long trip confidently saying "trips are too hard in an electric car" are basically being the automotive equivalent of a toddler who has never a certain food before saying "no I hate it!" before they've even tried it.

Not everyone has access to easy charging and its not just about electric vs. gas buy how you drive and how much.  If you drive 30-50K miles a year on electric you aren't being more environmental than someone driving 8K a year in a gas car.[/quote]

But you are comparing apples to oranges here. The question of the OP was on someone looking to buy a new car and chosing gas or electric, and the person would drive the same number of miles with either car. Not having easy access to charging at home is a valid point. If you have a carport you might be ok. In the first two weeks of ownership I charged my Tesla 3 with a 110V outlet overnight, which was enough for a 50 mile roundtrip commute. Having a 240V outlet installed is not that difficult and it costs about $500, and you'd be set. If it is street parking, you might need to sacrifice about 1 hour per week in charging, depending how much you drive. A lot of workplaces and shopping malls offer charging options, and that could solve your problem too.[/quote]

Who installed your charger?  We just got a quote for $4200!!!!![/quote]

Just do a 30A dryer receptacle. It is about 1 hour worth of work, a lot of houses even have one in the garage. Tesla come with an adapter for that plug. Call any electrician, shop around, I got offers 500 to 1500. Don’t mention it’s for an electric car.[/quote]
