I’m saying that Karen will not even consider EV because insert default excuse. People that do consider EVs will investigate the state of the infrastructure a bit and decide to wait. Play store and other pages are full of reviews. Also, anyone riding with me see the issues. You don’t have to own an EV to be aware of the issues.

soggy_kitty@sopuli.xyz 10 months agoI have to disagree, people like you described are not aware of the charging infrastructure app ridden sign up and reliability bullshit. Fixing that isn’t going to make Karen who’s never owned an EV buy one.
Your suggestion will only help people who already own an EV and understand the struggle.
I’m from UK and Tesla type 2 super chargers are now available for all EVs. Pretty sweet

This sign-up pain is real. There should be a global standard that says everyone can use a contactless debit or credit card to pay ALWAYS, and the cost rate is the same as signing up to an account.

EU just pass a law to make chargers accepting credit card mandatory every 50km on main highways. It comes into effect 2025. It’s a move in good direction but they really have to focus on availability as well. It’s crazy how long a charger can be out of service without anyone doing anything about it. It’s clearly an afterthought for all the companies involved.

I thought the us govt funding to help build out charging infrastructure required that you could just use a credit card
