If you’re in California, be aware that there’s a hidden/sneaky “EV tax” and you’ll be paying (nearly) double registration fees every year. Mine went from $330 to alamost $700.
Also public charging is starting to be a problem as there’s not nearly enough charging stations and CA does nothing about it.
You’re also not paying gas taxes though. They have to make up the lost gas tax revenue somehow. Realistically, it should be based on the miles driven and the weight of the car (road damages increases exponentially with the weight of the vehicle), but for now they just have that flat EV tax.
However I’ve had several EA chargers derated, one at 30kWh. Not to mention broken stalls. Or how about EA charging me the full price even though I paid for their membership thing?
ChargePoint never hit full speed on my last trip.
A random CCS station did better than any of the big names.
Tesla is by far the most reliable, why do you think auto companies are changing to NACS?
No idea why people keep buying cars from this guy. Fuck this moron.

Try charging a non Tesla while on a road trip, you’ll learn fast.
I just went MA -> TN -> OH -> MA and only had one place where all stations were offline, but they came back within a half hour.
I’ve never had a Tesla supercharger be offline.
