Quoted from UnnDunn:
Just picked up this 2022 Hyundai Kona Electric Limited. Super stoked about it. It’s going to cost me $9 to fully charge this thing on the street at night in NYC. $9! That’s just bonkers! It cost $65 to fill up my previous car, for roughly the same amount of miles.

If you dont mind me asking how do you plug it in at night? Since that looks like street parking do you just run a cord? Are you not worried about some jerk unplugging it in the night? What do you do if you can not find a spot to park by your building?

Quoted from UnnDunn:
I love when people project their views onto "most people", as if you have any clue what "most people" think. I mean, the poll at the top of this page utterly refutes your assertion.
Data from surveys has repeatedly shown that all it really takes to convert an EV skeptic is seat time in an EV. The EV experience is so much better than ICEV that JD Power found last year that simply riding (not even driving) an EV made respondents three times more likely to buy an EV.
This past weekend, I took a couple of friends on a trip that took about 90 minutes. These are people who had heard of EVs and, if anything, thought they were a little weird, but nothing else. The minute they got in and we started moving, holy shit, it was like a switch flipped in their heads. In minutes their perception of EVs changed dramatically from "eh, weird" to "this is the future".

Until you can charge an entire battery in minutes or the range is 3-5x there is no way. How long you think it would take a semi to truck your pinball machine from Chicago to California

Quoted from Electrocute:
A truly green vehicle. No fossil fuel was used in construction.
