I ❤️ @techconnectify.bsky.social but he has a blind spot re: EV capability and what American consumers will accept. From a Midwestern frugality POV 45 minutes of charging on a 5hr trip is "ok", but if one must lose an extra hr of work the opportunity cost is $25-$250+

Maybe life is just more relaxed in the Midwest, but when I have to drive to Pittsburgh I'm fighting for every chunk of time I can to preserve my PTO and if I have to arrive by 4pm, that charge time would come directly out of my PTO.

Yeah. this Iran thing sucks, but the change in filling my tank today vs a month ago was $15 for a range of 475 miles. That's 3 extra cents per mile. My point here is that pure EVs have real limitations as primary vehicles and telling people its NBD undercuts the credibility of the EV message.
