Wow, so I must’ve dreamed all those road trips I’ve take in my i4. And I guess I’ll dream the one I’m taking on Friday, too.

I charged my car from 23% to 80% last night. Cost me $6.89.

Did you have a point in asking?

Each to their own, but my view is the exact opposite — I want EVs that look like, well, cars. Not spaceships.

Unless you’re doing lots of long trips, charging speed is largely irrelevant and should be pretty far down your decision making list. The vast majority of most people’s driving is around town and back and forth from work to home. Any EV, save maybe the Leaf, will suit this just fine — you’re going to be charging at home almost all the time, and will essentially leave your home each morning with a full tank of “gas.”

I’d only worry about charging times is I took a lot of long trips, and even then it wouldn’t be all that consequential to me.
