Los Angeles County has more public DC fast chargers for EVs than any other city in the U.S. The majority of non-Tesla electric vehicles have a CCS port that ...
It’s part of it for sure. It’s hard for enthusiasts to swallow but “it’s not that bad” for our patience levels is “screw this, I’m never using it again” for normal folk. In psychology people only need 2 bad experiences to lose trust in something all together and it’s important people realize that the “it just works” way of things is what is needed for mass adoption.
Everyone better hope I don’t buy an electric car. So far, once I find a product or service I like, within a year the product is gone: Adam’s peanut butter, raw milk, wool socks. Or the convenience is gone: someone drove a PU into my local KFC six months ago… clear into the bathroom. Someone else drove into my local laundromat three months ago, never fixed. And no one will sell me a carburetor for my Ford C600. When I built a small all-electric limousine factory in 1995, neither Ford (Between 1979 and 1982, a number of electric Ford Couriers were produced) or Hughes/GM would sell me a motor-controller package. I did pick up two EV-1 15kva motor-controllers, new-in-the-crate in 2000, GM had failed to renew their patents. To Late:(
Now wonder why EV sales are low, people pay for convenience.

EV sales are low?
Compared to ICE yes. Only About 1:11 cars are EVs. We’re changing that. But it’s still small relative. To ICE
Most manufacturers have 1-2 EVs and 8-10 ICE options.
I’ll need a lot of charging stations at the major rest stops along the I80/90 corridors. Until that happens, I’ll still have an ICE car.
