      1. Depends on your utility plan and if it’s time based or not. The chargers at work are the same price from 7:00 to 22:00.
      2. Yes
      3. Depends on the office. Plenty of office parks don’t require you to move.
      4. I’ve avoided (as best I can) the “energy providers” that charge and extra fee just to charge. Obligatory fuck ChargePoint.

      I can’t charge at home (fuck you NJ) but still have two EVs that I take to the single public charger (limited to 2 hours) nearby because fuck gas powered cars.

      Maybe next time don’t make sweeping generalizations about things you personally haven’t experienced.

        Industrial electricity prices are a lot more complicated than residential. You basically get the price set by your highest demand/lowest supply. Meaning you charging your car could hike their rates.

        Answers “possibly” or just straight up “yes” to literally every point, and then criticizes them for generalizing.

        While EVs are 100% the way to go, acting as though the very real problems and drawbacks faced by real people don’t exist is disingenuous and just gives anti-EV people more ammo.

            Then why were your answers “Possibly, Yes, Possibly, Yes”?

            The problems being fixable by legislation a) doesn’t make them not problems and b) doesn’t mean they’ll actually be fixed by legislation.
