Unless you commute a long distance, skipping plugging a day of even a few days isn't a huge deal. And if they are the kind that just have a man fill up the car, not sure why he wont plug it in for them?
We agree, its not ready to take over "big", its like any other adoption curve.
Which is why they're gonna be nothing more than a niche market for the foreseeable future.
The one place they'd be handy, city driving, unless you have a garage (which is rare) you'll be forced to do all your charging at a premium price.
Doubling or almost doubling market share every year says you might be wrong. Lets check back in five years

Looking for an EV charging station? Charge your electric car at Walmart - Crescent City. Get directions on the ChargeHub Map.
Yep, Electrify America is a shitshow. Yet one of a million reasons that the govt forcing VW to build a charging network to pay for the emissions scandal was a Bad Idea. You might be shocked to know that VWs heart was never really in it, and they divested it as soon as they could. Yet again, relying on any charging network that doesn't start with a T is a Bad Idea.

I see a lot around here that look like they work on base in the offices or in corporate offices. I think three of the five or six that park in 2185 are driven by women who wear dresses and styled hair. And not styled purple
Prices a bit high for the patchouli oil crowd yet.

I think you may have confused metrosexual guys with man buns as women.I see a lot around here that look like they work on base in the offices or in corporate offices. I think three of the five or six that park in 2185 are driven by women who wear dresses and styled hair. And not styled purple

Nope, being an investor, I'm always curious about the demographic. I know what's reported, rich old white guys and young tech bros. Around here, it seems to be a pretty even mix. I'm seeing blacks and Asians, young (30s), old, male, female.
Oh, and your charger doesn't need to be in a garage. You can wall mount them outside on a wall or post.
Sneakers
Just sneakin' around....
I choose the think of myself as a non-rich old white tech bro.

The two in my parking lot are hipsters with man buns. Oh and a fat old guy with that little Chevy one.
Which is what I would do.
It's ALL a bad idea at the moment! A not ready for prime time product, with a lack of support. But morons are still harping on their virtues despite cons being posted everyday.Unless you commute a long distance, skipping plugging a day of even a few days isn't a huge deal.

Would you like to own a percentage of the new Harry Nice bridge I know a guy!
Hybrids appear to be the wave of the future from the dissatisfied EV owners that I have talked to.
My neighbor was one, then she saw the light and bought a new bronco. Took a big hit on the exchange but as some of us know education ain't free.
Do that in a major city and you can start looking for your charging cable at the scrap yard.

We've already discussed that they are not ready for outside parking city folks.Do that in a major city and you can start looking for your charging cable at the scrap yard.
I'll be getting in touch with SMECO about this product. Where my meter sits, this would be perfect with about a 20 foot run trenched throufgh the front garden bed and under the gravel/old CR6 driveway to a post
My investment account says differently
+132% over four years Tesla is about 71% of that account.My bet is YOU LIE!We've already discussed that they are not ready for outside parking city folks.

Yikes that is too much in any one sector let alone an individual stock. My energy stocks have netted me about 10x that in the same time period.We've already discussed that they are not ready for outside parking city folks.

Its all a bad idea and another bad idea is backing the Govt' by buying that junk!Unless you commute a long distance, skipping plugging a day of even a few days isn't a huge deal. And if they are the kind that just have a man fill up the car, not sure why he wont plug it in for them?

It's not junk, EVs just leave holes in the way most people use their vehicles and is unlikely to be able to fill them. If there wasn't a huge loss in efficiency a huge wireless charging pad under driveways or garage floors would fix part of it, an interstate that could power your car for long trips would also fix the fillup/range anxiety.
I would buy a cheap EV for commuting, but it definitely wouldn't be my only vehicle, but it would mean one more vehicle so I'll make due with what I have, a truck and a hybrid SUV for the efficiency and smooth driving.

Lets meet up one day, I'll log in and show you
Say the next cars and coffee? Keep in mind, this is my "play" account I set up using an old ESOP plan I had to get out of. When I moved that old 401K over, I skimmed a little off off that. I call it the billionaires fund since it has Tesla, Google, and Amazon.
Wait, ten times a 132% increase in value?
Think I've said repeatedly that I do not support the govt intervention in the market, I think its strong enough to make it solo. When Tesla and GM lost their original subsidies, sales kept right up. But lobbyists gonna lobby, and politicians are gonna pay back.

Oh yes, between the very high dividends with reinvestment and bargan basement sale prices in March of 2020. Some have since been sold, a few I hang onto because the dividend yield using the original purchase price is too great not to.
