Tesla’s supercharger network is easier and more convenient than getting gas, even if it’s slower. I’ve already written another article on this topic, teaser though, you can’t get a beer quicker than it takes your Tesla to get to 80%.

Hahahahaha.

Oh man. Okay.

Look, the convenience of EVs is that you have a charger at home and that you leave your house at 100% full tank each day. But any dumbass talking about how awesome superchargers are compared to gas stations are just dumb.

For the right buyer (ie: people who can reliably reach a charger at home or work), EVs are great. But if anyone actually expects people to seriously think that a 1-hour stop to fillup at 30+c / kw-hr (aka: more costly than gasoline) has left the realm of reality.
