for "daily" commuting like they do for long distance driving. I for one don't want to add that time to any kind of daily route.

I would, however, strongly desire charging at either work or home because that's where the car sits most of the day. Now, if charging got 2x faster, then maybe I could see the en-route stuff be more viable.

agreed, but your point also will make it that much slower for implementation. If my business or condo development put in a row of charging stations I - decline Apr 11, 12:59 12
- grocery stores should install them... look at how gas stations mostly all evolved into mini-marts and fast food stops - zeitgeist Apr 11, 13:10 11
  - hyvee here has both tesla and evergy (local power company ) branded chargers in its lot. - tRuMaN Apr 11, 13:39
  - There are several grocery stores around here that do that. -- nm - pmb Apr 11, 13:32 3
    - I was disappointed hitting the AMC in Naperville to see D&D with my son. They had 4 chargers but all were full. -- nm - oblique Apr 11, 13:34 2
      - I think all the Jewel/Osco stores have them, but only 1 or 2 stations. -- nm - pmb Apr 11, 13:35 1
        
        Sounds about right. Ours has two -- nm - oblique Apr 11, 13:40
  - Yeah, I’d love to get some at my grocery store. -- nm - znufrii Apr 11, 13:18
  - WaWa has been super smart to let the Tesla Superchargers at their locations. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 11, 13:15 4
    - like convenience store parking lots aren't enough of a shitshow already -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 11, 13:18 3

        Yep, most here have food & coffee counters, so you can hang for 30 minutes and get decent food. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 11, 13:23
We're going to have an EV and a ICE vehicle, since we travel a lot. - JaxSean Apr 11, 12:57 4
- I did Indy to Wisconsin last month in the EV. It was a challenge just in the amount of time it added. Charging speed and capacity become very - oblique Apr 11, 13:42 1
  - This is what has me leaning plug in hybrid for my next car. I drive to St. Louis several times a year, but around here I would never need gas. -- nm - pmb Apr 11, 14:06
- check out PHEVs (new Prius has 40m range on the battery but gas tank for highway trips) -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 11, 13:02 1
