Nightly charging maintenance, to me, sounds worse than oil/gas maintenance.

It's trivial. I plug in at home and at work. I haven't visited a gas station in 6 months. Have a "full tank" every time I leave home and work. And my car is warm when I leave for work in the morning and when I head home at night.

It's like plugging your laptop in when you get to the office.

No worse than plugging in your cellphone before bed. You park at home, you plug it in; 10 seconds.

Most ICE adherents still don't grasp: every morning, your EV is "topped off" and ready to go full range. Rare long trips aside, you never have to "go to the station to fill up" - which you must every few days with gas.

Huh? I think it's one of the major upsides with an EV. Your "tank" is always full in the morning. No "Dang it, need to go and fuel up" first thing when leaving.

Nothing like downvotes for personal preference. People have different driving habits and desires, how does surprise anybody??
