  1. Agree everything, but that EVs don't tire wear. My Tesla M3 eats tires because of the weight of the vehicle. I also think that we are finally seeing the lie of the S curve. It is not happening. Its going to be a long slog to full EV adoption. As far as charging, my experience the other day was illustrative. I forgot to charge my TM3, and was getting low charge alerts as a result. Here in Silicon valley there is no lack of charging spots, and I got off the freeway and turned left into a shopping center with about 20 Tesla chargers. The left turn was an intersection with 4 gas stations, one on each corner. Each one of those could have 20 charging spots if they used all the land, and at 20 minutes for quick charge that would about cover the need considering that a normal gas station has about 16 possible refueling locations (4 islands, two cars per side). The gas stations are always saying they make most of their money as conivence stores in any case, and having people stay longer you would think would be an added perk of serving EVs. Most gas stations could add chargers just by converting their parking spaces at 5 to 10 spaces, which are usually unoccupied because only the gas station employees are there all day. As it is, EVs are passing gas stations, going to the back to charge at dark shopping center parking lots and trekking to CVS pharmacies. Its like they are sleeping though their own funeral.

  2. You picked the worst European plug which is the British 240v plug. The EU plug, which is round, is not only smaller, but is designed so that small children cannot touch the active terminals, unlike the British and American plugs.
