"Time for full charge 4h40 min". Those are words I will thankfully never ever willingly subject myself to.

I worked 20 years in car rentals, and I can't fathom the nightmare of an entire fleet of EV's, half of them needing charged upon return. Rentals can often have a turn around of 30 minutes between customers, it will be beyond impossible to keep up.

I am retired and enjoy traveling.
No way am going to waste what time I have left looking for a charging station and waiting to charge!

It's like a scene from the oil embargoes in the 70s, cars lined up to fuel up.

Tesla owner here, this is a great video. Pretending that the infrastructure is adequate doesnât help anybody, just as suggesting an EV is the right choice for everybody is crazy. As you say, if you have a Tesla in Aus youâre mostly fine, but we still have a long way to go, particularly in terms of infrastructure for non Tesla EVs.

I actually spoke to a solar engineer about this. It's quite a bit more complicated, just because the government mandates something doesn't make it happen. There simply is no the resever energy to power all these EVs. The utility companies don't just have all this electricity sitting around, it's going to require new power stations, new how power lines, more producers. It's a whole mess that will takes years or even decades to transition. At least in the US.

So on Calfornia there are 31million registered cars vs 903,000 EVs. That is 3% EVs. Imagine now that changing to 20%? Can you even try and imagine the practicality of that?

Why do people buy into this pain. Even pay extra I can't believe it.

Was driving my work van on fumes. Pulled into a servo and filled up 65 litres in under 2 minutes. Paid and picked up an iced coffee, in all under 5 minutes I added 485kms to my trip.
Thank you very much.

Imagine driving around for an hour trying to find an open charger, only to come back to the first one and resign yourself to waiting at least an hour to charge for 4 hours.

That last charger said done in 4 hours...4 hours! Who has that time to wait? Batteries and charging need to be better before EVs are adopted. As you pointed out, if you have a house, its not a problem. if you live in an apartment, it is not really feasible.

I stop at the diesel pump for about 3 minutes and get another 1200km range in the tank. Hard to beat!

I love the idea of being locked into a scenario where thereâs a direct correlation between how much you value your time, and what you are willing to pay for it.

One of the main reasons I have zero interest in an EV. I travel a lot in the mountains for skiing and other activities and the places I go, in order to find a charger I'd have to detour 2-3 hours out of my way and then sit there and charge the car. When you turn a 7-8 hour drive into a 12+ hour drive it suddenly becomes unattractive to travel or go on vacation. As usual they are trying to run before they walk and don't have the infrastructure in place. It was actually kind of hilarious on my last road trip, we found a gas station that had like 15 TESLA chargers, all empty, because the small mountain town we were in, the average income wasn't enough to even afford half of one EV. No one within a few hundred miles of that town could afford or owned an EV, yet they had chargers there for no EVs. Meanwhile in my area at home where half our neighborhood drives an EV, there aren't any chargers except one at the grocery store 10 miles down the road. Once they have actual solid charging infrastructure in place and can improve the battery efficiency, maybe then we can talk about EVs.

The part at 16:15 is inaccurate. We have 240V here, which we use in certain cases like ovens and dryers. Chargers, including home chargers, can do this, too. Most of our outlets are 120V because the 240V circuit is split-phase, divided from +120V to -120V, with the ground in the middle. So we can use a normal hot/neutral/ground for most purposes and get 120V, or have 2 hot/2 neutral/ground for when we want 240V.
Additionally, while standard 120V wiring is 15A, there's also the option for 20A wiring with special plugs. I don't know the maximum, but I've seen 240V circuits up to 85A.

Can feel the pain in Paulâs voice when he says âitâs unbelievably badâ

Makes ice cars look positively futuristic. Fill up in 5 mins and off you go.

OK, so I'm an Aussie living in Orange County and I own a Polestar 2. I really love driving that car and use it every day but we don't road trip it because, well, the non-Tesla public charging network sucks. I charge at home, on a level 2 charger which is 230 volts on a 50amp circuit so it charges at a decent speed. Homes here generally have a 230 volt supply as well as 110 volts; most domestic dryers run on 230 volts. But everyone is moving to the Tesla NACS standard and Tesla is opening up superchargers to other manufacturers. Ford and Rivian are on it already, Polestar within the next few weeks.
I've also rented a Tesla in the US, as well as Polestars in Australia twice and New Zealand once. I tell non-EV owners not to because charging is a hassle you don't need on a trip.

Come visit America, spend all your time looking for places to charge your EV.
You went to four public chargers before finding one available and working, then were so glad to finally plug in, you didn't even seem to mind the 4 hour, 40 minute charge time. The great EV con has now lowered your expectations in personal mobility.
Great vacation.

I've got charging anxiety just looking at this đ˘
