Saw a lot more electric lately, but perhaps it’s cuz I’m in the process of buying one. At my hometown there is just the same 10 cars I always see. But at work in Stuttgart there are so many (~1/3 parked cars), lot of white Tesla, many BMW and Audi, and even saw a BYD atto3 and ora this week for the first time

Yeah supercharger is at Autobahn with lot of space. Talking about downtown and other space with not enough parking space.

See https://tff-forum.de/t/zugeparkte-ladestationen-fortsetzung-teil-3/250501

We blocking fees here in Germany for years. People will just park on the spot instead. Guess you can plug Tesla into supercharger to force the owner to come back…

Paid Tesla for MY, but their service still managed to scare me away… now I’m waiting for a BYD seal.

Reading on tff a lot which service center to avoid… and most around us are on their list. Kinda strange they don’t invest more in sales… perhaps I would have become a lifetime customer

Not in Germany :(

Some of the problems were solved a couple times (according to at Zimmermann on YouTube). But due to the part shortage Tesla decided to use the old iteration again :/

Yeah, kinda expensive on older cars since stuff always breaks between 2 TÜVs, but that’s part of the price we have to pay for non speed limit highway…

And from what I read a lot of German cars are designed to be inspected regularly, that’s why they are unreliable :/

LFP was the tipping point for me to get an EV, I see car as a tool and want to get at least a decade and ~150kkm out of it, prefer double that. NCA or NMC was just too risky. 3h drive -> 30m pause seems perfectly fine for me, charging pause on autobahn will prolly just take less than 10h each year for me.

Most developed country seem to have the infrastructure within bigger cities and along the highway, and charging station can be easily added, power grid has lot of capacity, especially with V2G.

Developing countries seems still struggling with power grid & coverage… and will prolly still get ICE/Hybrid cars for few decades more, BYD still selling more hybrid than EV most likely in 2023 (could be the last year)
