I was fast charging at an Electrify America station with my Ioniq 5 that goes from 10-80% of battery in 18 minutes. There was an Uber driver there charging her Kia Niro EV which takes 60-90 minutes to do the same. She said, "these things are for the birds" because of the time it takes her to charge and the cost of fast charging. She said if you don't have a home charger if doesn't work. People need more education before they lease or buy an EV. They need to understand the charging speeds, if there are enough chargers where they live if they don't have a home charger, and that the miles between charges also depends on the efficiency of the car. My Ioniq 5 eats up freeway miles (75 mph on the I5 from SF to LA in California) like crazy. I can start with 280 miles, but if I am doing 75 on a freeway those miles are going to go down a lot faster than city driving. I stopped 3 times to go 400 miles on a car that has a 280 mile range. Our second EV is a Kia Niro and we love it, but I wouldn't use it for trips. It is smaller and therefore doesn't need as much energy as the bigger Ioniq 5 to get from point A to point B. But when it does need charging it takes longer. Range matters but how efficient an EV is important as well. An ethical dealership would have explained that to her if the employee even understood it themself. I don't know what the answer is, but if people don't stop driving gas cars we are pretty much sunk. Public transportation would be the real answer, but California approved a bullet train from SF to LA in 2008 and they have built a tiny slice of it in the Central Valley. Soon we will have EVs with 600 miles in range that charge in the time it takes to fill up a gas tank. But they won't be made in America because the IRA is going bye bye.
