[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, I'll start with I know nothing about EVs. I don't own one. I rented a car for a trip that was an EV. The rental guy offered me a car that wasn't fully charged. I was like, oh no big deal that's fine.

Actually it's not. I had this wrong impression that somehow it doesn't take 6-8 hours to charge. Ugh. So, so wrong.

Finding EV chargers is so-so depending on where you are. Certainly not one that is convenient for 8 hours.

Anyway let this serve as a warning to others. Don't rent a EV. [/quote]
Mistake number one: You know nothing about EV and the EV you chose to rent is a KIA. Don’t do that again.
Any EV not a Tesla is basically junk. Next time rent a Tesla and you’ll be fine.

It sounds like she was out in the middle of nowhere and since two of the chargers were converted to be used by Teslas, that was probably also the closest Tesla charger.

There are a good number of chargers but they are all super slow and only a few level 3s. One converted to Tesla, one was non-operational and one worked. I'm not really in the middle of nowhere, about 1 hour outside of a major NE city. [/quote]
