I go by a Tesla charging station every day and see cars there for up to several hours. This seems like a waste of a huge chunk of your personal time so owning an electric vehicle sucks in that respect imo. What are people doing or can do that is productive during this wait time?

    Charging your car on public in no mans land is a weird american invention. In germany you can charge your car at home, at the grocery store and in the city. Its not perfect but its improving a lot imo. Obviously it depends on where you live too.

    But the fact that people travel to their work place is another completely senseless idea. The absolute least I would want is sharing the load with the employer or work from home entirely.

    The whole idea of traveling hours a day to go to work for a job literally 100 people closer to the employer could do is nuts, along with the idea that you need to work to eat.

      OP never mentioned commuting to work you’re just on an unrelated tangent. And yes, believe it or not a lot of people have jobs that require making service calls or being on location.

        I dont know why you need to be aggressive but I‘m not interested, thanks.

        Driving to a job site for work that has to be done on site is obviously the exception but this exception is not reality for 99% of people who drive a tesla or an EV.
