Not discounting you at all, just saying that was the situation in 2023 with people I knew. Doesn’t make your experience more or less valid.
Even my friend with a tesla had issues. Not so much with a lack of stations, but making his way to one and finding someone had damaged it so it wasn’t usable. Plus even though the charge times are down, having to wait 20 minutes for the car to charge when you have kids or whatever is obnoxious.
The infrastructure will get better. I bought in 2023, and a hybrid made more sense for me then.
I wanted to get an EV when I bought my last car, but I was planning to retire and do a a bunch of road trips. Yes, you can do cross country in an EV, but it’s harder in a lot of places and my friends have told me horror stories of getting to to charging stations and finding them broken, getting stranded.
My hybrid get 50 mpg highway, 43 city. That’s not as efficient as an EV, but it’s not terrible for a midsize sedan.
I’m in the US, just on .ca because I liked the instance, but point still valid.
