EV Charging Infrastructure in America Still Sucks
It&#x27;s for reasons like this that I&#x27;m always sad and dismayed the Chevy Volt wasn&#x27;t more popular. Yes, all electric is the future, but <i>right now</i>, and for about the past 5-6 years, the Volt is&#x2F;was the perfect car for a lot of people:<p>1. For me, my commute is about 12 miles one way, so my Volt has enough electric capacity for my commute plus 1 errand on a single charge. 95% of my days are 100% electric.<p>2. I never have &quot;range anxiety&quot; - if I do go slightly over my limit the gas engine kicks in. I use a tank of gas about every 4-6 months.<p>3. Since my car&#x27;s electric range is only ~38 miles, I can fully charge in about 8-9 hours overnight on a plain 110v outlet - no custom installation required for a home charger.<p>I bought a low-mileage used Volt - it was a great deal and the best car I&#x27;ve ever owned.
