I agree with you, there is a huge EV infrastructure issue in this country. This is the best truck I have ever had but the best charging for it is at my house. I drive to Maine and back from Boston and the chargers on the way are a joke. 50% them are not in service and there are lines. There are 8 Tesla chargers to 4 Charge point chargers. I dont understand why stations dont see this as a huge incentive to add chargers and create a place for people to spend money. In the EV market you get a consumers attention for 45 minutes while they recharge. Make it a fun 45 minutes for them.
Pulling the Plug after 6,000 MILES!
First off I LOVE this truck, I have made several long distance drives these past two months and have loved driving it.
But, I am sad to say I am letting it go after this last drive. A nine hour drive took over 14 hours due to problems at EA chargers along the route
from Balto to Indy.
The 22 degree weather killed our range and here I am driving a $80K truck with the heat off to make it to our next stop. Why?
I think the real kicker was when we stopped at a Sheetz station and there was a line of 8 cars waiting to charge at the 4 chargers. I looked at the gas pumps, no lines. Why am I doing this.
I plan on coming back to this in a couple of years once I can pull into a staion with 100% confidence that I'll get a charge and be on my way in 20 min.
Best wishes to all of you early adopters.
