If you're charging at home, very unlikely. How many miles per day / week are you currently driving?

Dawg, I work at a restaurant directly in the path of destruction (you know the one,) and I couldn't even piss in my own workplace until maybe 10pm because of the lines. I was advised to go to the alley across the street, which....somehow also had a fucking line. I'm goin' out of town for that weekend next year.

I rented for a year at 8th and main the parking lot has plugs, just plugged in nightly with 110v was always charged by morning… a good bit of apartments are ok with you using the 110v outlets

You don’t 230+ miles is a lot for driving around when your cars always gonna be plugged in at home and sitting at 80-90% always befor you leave you’d be hard pressed to drive 200+ miles in town before ever getting home to plug-in ll

I have a Tesla model 3 SR and drive to nova and back once a week , charge to 100% and can make the full 200 mile trip even in winter but it’s really close if it’s super cold or I drive doing 80-85 instead of 70 I sometimes have to stop at a supercharger for a few minutes to add 5-10% but then I get home and plug in.
If I bought again I’d probably get a long range for more flexibility as 230miles is juuuussst enough in the winter a LR woulda meant I never had to stop on the trip

If you can’t charge at home and/or work, I wouldn’t recommend it. Sitting at a charger for 30+ minutes every week just seems like a big inconvenience.

Got a clarity plugin hybrid and I charge it at home and leave a quarter tank of gas. Had that gas since new years!

Not OP, but some people just wouldn't have this opetion. Some people rent, some people own condos with shared parking they can't just add a charger to, etc.

This feeling goes away. How often do you randomly ran out of gas? if the answer is never, you probably have the planning skills to own an electric car.

This isn't fair at all man. That's all Tesla drivers.

I have owned my VW ID.4 for almost two years and love it. Charge mostly at home at 5 miles per hour on a 110 volt /20 amp outlet. That’s plenty for our daily driving. Download the PlugShare app to find local chargers. We subsidize our home charging with one of many DC high speed chargers scattered around. We have found them to be generally reliable. You can also use A Better Route Planner app and website to plot out road trips. We have been on several without issue - 1,200 and 2,500 miles. Happy to answer any questions you have.

Went to the Bowtie yesterday. The guy standing in front of me in the concessions line had bought a ticket just so he could use the restroom--citing the long port-o-potty lines. He offered me the ticket he bought.
When I came out a couple of hours later, they were a bunch of people who were buying tickets at the kiosk. They were all doing their own version of the pee pee dance. I overheard one of them laughingly saying into a cell phone "Yeah, we're up here buying tickets! There ain't nowhere else for us to pee!"
I got on my bike and headed down that side street that Aldi's faces. I saw people peeing behind some dumpsters. There was a river of pee streaming out from underneath it. It was crazy and nasty.

We’re a two EV house. Love it and will never go back to ICE vehicles. We charge at home but there’s plenty of chargers around town if you need them. Honestly, we’re always charged up in the mornings so we never have to use them around town but they’re out there.

Yeah, I got an invite from my co-worker. He and I both have 6 year olds and he thought it would be a good time for them. Lol, fuck that. That's the last place I'm taking my kid.

Subaru Solterra! Not many out there - we have problems charging outside of home because there is only one compatible charger in RVA
