No properly designed battery should just burst into flames from the user charging to 100%. They have charging protection ICs (integrated circuits) to control this. Literally, the logic will not let you overcharge. Rather, while not a big deal, it's needless to charge to 100% if it's just going to sit there. It's like filling up your car with high ethanol fuel and just letting it sit there. Hence, a lot of EVs have charging schedulers if you really want to maximize the life of the battery, aka, charge to full an hour before I normally go to work...etc.

The whole time was spent with serious range anxiety. Some chargers didn't work, had to change travel plans each day, all based around where the nearest fast charger was. Most charging stations across Ireland are just not up to it yet. Most hotels don't have chargers, so you can't even really charge your car overnight. Frankly it was a real headache.

Beyond getting the battery charged, electric cars having few moving parts, require less maintenance, are more efficient and will likely last FAR longer than a comparable ICE car. Add a breakthrough development in battery tech, fusion power or solar panels, and it's game over for ICE powered cars.

There have been a lot of thefts of the charging cables used on the public and home chargers. The thieves sell the copper wire for scrap. In my opinion the best cars are hybrid.

I got in an accident and been in a rentals for a month. The Chevy Bolt EUV and the Polestar. I'm hooked. Charging at home works fine and the charging station close to me is attached to a grocery store. That was convenient too. $7.50 to get from 30% to 80%. Sketchy dark corner of the parking lot get car jacked jacked at night though. I'll def not sit in one charging at night in some places. But my experience all month has been hassle free and that drive in the Polestar is awesome to me at least. The little Chevy Bolt was surprisingly fun as hell too.

Couples will know if they should get married to each other after spending time at an EV changing station.

The only benefits of an EV are that it's cheaper to charge one than fueling up a regular car and that you can charge it at home. And maybe instant torque for EV sports cars. But they are subject to phantom drain like any other chargeable electronic, take longer to recharge, have a less developed charging network, typically cost more, and have less range. I think if you only ever drive short commutes and can charge at home, an EV would be fine. But if you ever decide to go on a road trip, tow a trailer, or do literally anything else, an ICEV is the way to go. Hybrids are also fine, but if it's plug-in, then I would at least make sure it has lots and lots of range. That benefit could counter the downside of having to spend longer times to charge.

I had my EV charging point installed at my house this morning and what a faff. The 'surveyor' who looked about 12 did a particularly poor job and as a result the installer and my husband were fannying around in the crawl space under our house for three hours. To top it off, the installer cut his hand and had to go to minor injuries. I hope this isn't an omen for my Ioniq ffs.

The more superfluous electrical gadget may be a major explanation of why the range is short. Electric door opener, glove box etc. I drive 550 miles when traveling across country then another 350 the next day to visit family twice per year. When the EV can go that far and recharge as fast as my 50mpg VW diesel, I might have some interest.

They already can, well not without charging but with charging smart (or with battery swap on a NIO of course). Many tests of 1000km drives with different EV's against a petrol car put the modern EV's within half an hour of the time taken. Crucially the tests are done without including stops for lunch or anything. Given an EV can charge during stops for breaks then the time, at least for some modern EV's, with realistic stops for breaks is about the same as petrol car.

I’ve subscribed to this no-BS channel after watching this. No BS! What a relief!
