    I haven’t bought an EV yet myself because I’m not buying a new car until my current one kicks the bucket, but don’t they have that “quick charge” feature similar to phones where if the battery is low it can get to “good enough to get you to work and back” in like 5 minutes?

    I just can’t wait to not have to worry about oil changes or “odd engine sounds” anymore lol

      That would rely on having the right charger, and I suspect they will be rare, because that’s a massive amount of power to deliver, and getting that much power to the site would be difficult.

      But you will have to worry about your battery. It will depend on usage, “fast” charging etc… but it will not last as a “normal” car does. So you will have to replace it or dump the car. ( most people just dump it as its cheaper to buy new )
