And we’re getting more and more data saying that the expectations for battery life were pretty far off. They lasting far longer.

Imagine having to drive to a station each time you need to fill up your tank instead of just plugging it at home and letting it charge while you sleep.

I would not want to go back to a gas car.

Welcome to buying a computer.

My computers last more than 10 years because the parts are upgradeable, unfortunately that strategy doesn't work for cars

An EV that you buy now would last you 10 years, especially if it has an NACS port.

There isn’t any car you can “upgrade” after purchase.

Sure you can, no one is stopping you from turning your Ford or whatever car into a shitty Lamborghini and I'm sure someone's done it before. I saw a guy make a working car out of godam Lego you can do anything ffs

What the fuck? It take me less than 3 minutes to fill 16 gallons what kind of shit pump you going to??

[theeighthdoctor@lemmy.zip]

Yes but my car is from 1993 and it's still enough for my needs

Yup, exactly this. When people ask, I tell them it takes me less than 5 seconds to charge my EV. I plug it in as I get out at night and I have a full “tank” each morning.
