Where do you see convenient charging stations? Tesla shows 4 superchargers in all of Manhattan and 3 in Brooklyn, not including 3rd party stations that can take 2 hours to charge the car. What is the population of Manhattan and Brooklyn?

You don’t need the superchargers

Oh yes, because people in Manhattan lives usually have driveway. Of course.

Just a friendly reminder that Tesla isn’t the only show in town. Chargepoint shows several thousand charging stations just in manhattan.

There are curbside charging locations popping up around my neighborhood and most parking garages seem to have some charging capacity now. There certainly isn’t enough infrastructure for the whole population of car owners to go electric tomorrow, but it’s interesting to see big changes happening in real time.

I have had a tesla for 4 years, I have used super chargers maybe a dozen times total. And I do about 15,000 miles/yr.

I only use Superchargers for long journeys, and I don’t do many. Even when I do it’s only 20mins max and then off.

I haven’t used any public charging in the last 3 months.
