More populated cities and shorter distances make EV’s a lot easier. The only only only way they’ll take hold in the US is more networks as reliable as Tesla, integrated navigation in the cars, and fewer stupid charging apps.

Tesla is the only EV I’ve owned with zero range anxiety because it plots the trip - and is correct. My LEAF’s tiny battery and famous guess-o-meter made it a totally unknown when I needed to charge, and then had to figure out in PlugShare or ABRP where to charge with at least one backup nearby because of how unreliable other networks are. Too stressful.

Tesla is the ONLY good network. EVgo costs a fortune - 3x as much as a tesla supercharger near me! And EA is basically always broken.
