> Nothing is available to anyone at anytime at short notice

Funny. When I drive a regular car, gas stations are available all the time, at short notice. With a throughput of possibly hundreds of cars an hour.

Nope.

Things are tough all over in the real world.

> Nope

Yup

> Fuel shortage

Ah yes. Extraordinary short-term events affecting only some regions vs. chronic shortage of available fast chargers pretty much everywhere.

Yup, same thing.

> Extraordinary short-term events

You picked the conditions of the contest, son. You claimed "available to anyone at any time at short notice".

You were straight up wrong. Deal with it.

It's not a contest, and I didn't pick conditions for it. This is called a reality.

This all started with a discussion of a long trip. The reality is that, at best, EVs require you to do very careful planning with potentially lengthy breaks regardless of "excellent coverage" and exuberant youtube ads of "best charging stations".

If your grand insight is that charging infrastructure is still being built out then that's no insight at all. New stations are going in daily.

Look, if you're too afraid to think about EVs now then the best advice is not to worry about it. Live in the happy tail as a late adopter. By then all the decisions will have been made for you and you won't have to think.

> Look, if you're too afraid to think about EVs

Ah yes. "Son", "deal with it", "afraid to think about EVs", a couple of Youtube vidoes. The grand arguments of a person who pretends they have any arguments.

No one is "afraid to think about EVs". Those who actually think about EVs see what they are, and all the problems they have right now. Good luck to early adopters, come back when you have more arguments than those listed above.

But you plainly are afraid, kid. You've done nothing but argue dishonestly. You set a ridiculous standard that not even gas stations meet and you think you've discovered something. You haven't.

EVs are here now, they work, and they're getting better year by year. No amount of whining from you will change that.
