      Fuck y’all are so fucking pedantic.

      Okay, maybe every fucking state has a charger. But some places have not expanded, especially to rural areas.

      Jesus fucking Christ. Y’all can’t read extrapolation.

      Never comment on anything on the internet. Fucking assholes like y’all chase down every goddamn word.

        This is a US map of dots. The dots are charger stations, not individual chargers.

        Yeah, you should probably mean what you say and say what you mean when having a conversation. You have no idea what the current state of ev charging infrastructure looks like, but you’re still acting like an expert.

          not PC but, I mean I can tell you the state I live in the closest EV charger is an hour away if that helps your data set on infrastructure knowledge. That’s my primary reason I have no current interest in EV. I firmly agree infrastructure is not there at this time for it in this state. Maybe in the future it will but until I can easily charge my car either at work or without an hour detour it’s a hard not happening for me.

          being said, it has gotten better over the last few years so maybe soon?

            Should have linked this earlier, but adding it now anyways https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity-locations#%2Ffind%2Fnearest%3Ffuel=ELEC There are very few places in the US where you can be an hour away from the nearest charger.

            It’s also kind of a strange situation to explain to people who are used to fuling up at gas stations. I almost never use the fast chargers near my house, I can fill up way cheaper, and way more conveniently at home. The only time I start thinking about fast charging is when I’m driving more than 300 miles in a weekend.

              yea those charts can be deceiving at times though , charge finder said I had one within 35 minutes I looked at what it was, the station it said is the old town house, and that’s been disabled/damaged(the charger not the building) due to vandalism since mid covid and was never fixed. The other option shown is the high-school but it’s restricted to students and Staff only and is parking pass enforced. I could likely abuse it via visitor pass, but that’s still 40 minutes to get there, time spent charging and then 40 minutes back. They had a town vote to install a community one a few years back at a town meeting but, there wasn’t enough local support for it to get on the official vote.

              Being said, it must be nice having the luxury of charging it at home. I don’t have such luxury. If I could I would have jumped on an EV for my last car when I had to upgrade 5 or 6 years ago

          Me? An expert? A guy who commented on a Lemmy post??

          I said fuck the rich and y’all attacked me for being a shill for big oil.

          Get out of here with that bullshit.
