He's arguing against the added responsibility of having to remember to "fill up" every night or every other night at home and wants the freedom to forget and be able to stop on the way to drop the kids off at the nearest Exxon.
I get the argument, but after any experience with an EV most would find it to be a moot point, charging at home is easy.
Exactly. It is a dumb argument by someone that hasn't done it. It's like saying "I would never carry a briefcase or a backpack, because I have to take it out of my car." Same amount of effort.
An Apple watch is more of a pain to take make sure it is charged than an EV.
Lol. You make a comparison to a briefcase/backpack and then say remembering to plug something in everyday is more of a pain than remembering to plug something else in everyday.
Nice work.
Sorry you can't connect the dots and I have to spell it out for you.
Charging an EV when you have chargers set up at your house takes about the same amount of effort as getting a backpack out of the backseat and taking it inside.
It is more cumbersome to deal with charging a wearable like an Apple Watch than plugging in your car. Both are obviously related as they need regular charging, but the watch is way more of a pain to deal with by far, and many tech-minded people that would consider an EV wear a watch like that.
Throughout the year, I will spend significantly less time charging my EV than I would getting gas in the car it replaced. A couple seconds to plug it in when I get home, and my time and effort is done on it.
