(3,748 posts)And ICE vehicles will be a thing of the past. Im not sad about that, either. The charging infrastructure will come. There are already 44,000 tesla charging stations. And thats just tesla. You have blink, evgo, electrify america, etc. as well. The only draw back I can see so far is the range insecurity. But I think that will change in the next 5-10 years where we will get a good 900 miles per charge. It will be a game changer when that happens. And already, prices of EV have already come down for mass adoption.
Ps I bought a tesla model Y this year and love it. I was worried about the range bc I have long commutes but it has not been a problem whatsoever. Atleast not in my tesla. But, I do have to say there was a learning curve w all this new technology. But it wasnt overwhelming. I am lucky that I have options. When the weather cools down, I will clear some space and put in a wall charger. Right now, I have a 110 regular charger and plug it into a regular outlet in my garage to charge it up. It takes a lot longer but it works for my driving habits. In a pinch, I just go down the street to the superchargers to charge up if meed be. The other thing I really like about the tesla superchargers is that theyre always around some amenity and I get internet in my car and watch my you tube videos and tv shows. I love it.
