So I take my 300 mile range electric car to my son’s home in Bradenton, about 130 miles. Trip back 130 miles so only 40 mile cushion in case of delays on the interstate. I get to my son’s house then he follows me to a charging station which if available we have to wait for 30 minutes+ at a minimum then return to visit his family. No thanks. Are 20 pump WAWA gas stations going to covert to e-WAWA with 40 PLUS needed charging stations to accommodate the 15 to 30 minute wait at each e-station to charge, and that’s if you don’t have to get in line. Power outages? Can’t keep a 5 gallon can of electricity in my garage for emergencies, or need I buy an expensive generator, keep gasoline to run the generator, so I can charge my car. Power Grid shutdowns aka California? They can’t handle the power needed now, just wait until most everyone is plugging in their garage. TOO MUCH PREEMPTIVE PUSH WITHOUT LONG TERM ANSWERS FOR METO GET ON BOARD AT THIS TIME.
