[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Updating - almost last day. I spent some additional time charging it while working from a Cafe. But it took 20 minutes again to find a charger. They are super hard to find in garages. The most obvious ones were taken and I drove around looking for more (which are unmarked) so again, unless you know a place you have no idea where they are located in a dark garage. I've wasted at least 4 hours at this point figuring stuff out.[/quote]

No offense, nothing that you’re describing is that hard.  I rented an EV once and these things weren’t that challenging.  I now own an EV and it’s still not challenging.

Are you over the age of 60 and not good at using google maps?  Or are you just not that bright?[/quote]

Under 40 and went to MIT but thanks[/quote]
You are a young techie and you can’t figure out how to use an EV? That’s very surprising. [/quote]

What about an EV is tech related? This is literally an infrastructure issue[/quote]

You allegedly went to MIT and can’t use technology (an iphone) that has been available for 16 years. None of what you are describing is that hard and most of it has nothing to do with an EV (eg a garage being poorly labeled).

NP, and I don't know why you are so hostile to OP. S/he said that the app only helps locate the location (a garage) but doesn't say where in the garage the charger is located, what kind of charger it is, etc. The person who said this is an infrastructure issue is correct. An EV as a rental only makes sense if you are in a city where you already know the location of the chargers, or if you are staying somewhere with guaranteed access. Otherwise you are at the mercy of bad infrastructure, unclear maps, and whether there are enough chargers for demand. [/quote]

Hostile because this poster clearly has an agenda and is willfully ignorant and intellectually lazy.  It’s not that hard to figure out.  I did it without ever thinking about an EV before by renting one, not in a big city, by using an app.  I now find chargers all the time using an app.  It’s not that difficult for average intelligence adults, let alone MIT brainiacs.[/quote]
