I was watching this person’s videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

EV owner in the US with home charger. It’s the best. The convenience of never having to go to a gas station is huge. I was so worried about range and charging speed before I got the car, but it’s all bullshit. The reality is that I wake up in the morning and I’m ready to go wherever I want to go. I take a few longer trips a year, and I’m always able to find a charging station along the way. The apps make it pretty easy to know where to go. I have a CCS plug, and we’re supposed to get the Tesla adapter sometime this year. But even without it, we just took an 800 mile road trip, and there’s a CCS fast charging station at least every 80 miles, so it’s not like we were ever in danger of not making it. The only thing I don’t like about the CCS plug is that they’re so damn heavy. The Tesla ones are supposed to be nicer, so there’s that to look forward to.
So the road trip item you’re talking about is incredibly subjective. I just had an ev for a few months, yes I was able to find CCS on the highway, but you’re looking at ~1hr charging per 3 driving (give or take). That’s a deal breaker for a lot of people.
But youre right, leaving every morning with “a full tank” was wild.
