Exactly. It’s why I can’t really go full ev. Well, that and the bullshit privacy invasion of all new cars.
I could get by with one in town, but it would not work long term because there’s just too many hours long drives I have to make on a regular basis, and pretty regular trips into other states far enough away that until the infrastructure is way better, there’s just nowhere to charge yet.
And the non-interoperable app bullshit with chargers. ChargePoint, Blink, EVgo, whatever else requires me to make an account, deposit some minimum amount of money (that just sits there afterwards), and only then charge, if the app or the charger works. (E.g: ChargePoint had chargers that can be used with their RFID card but not through the app)
