I can remember very easily, because it is only just over a year ago that we bought a Nissan Leaf, a fully electric vehicle. Now, without going back over previous posts, I am confident that II have written about my frustrations with EVs and it extends mainly to the infrastructure. We encountered a time where we would probably want to charge the EV and yet the only chargers that were conveniently available were dedicated exclusively to Teslas.
Now, I ask you what kind of place installs a good bank of chargers that only one manufacturers car can use? Isn’t that just selfish? I don’t blame Tesla, they are looking after their customers. I do blame the owners of the facility and their shortsightedness, in my view anyway.
Now there is a charger that fits our car, but it is a couple of miles away, so I would have to make a special journey to get to it. I suppose in a way, that’s no different to having to find a garage to fill up with petrol.
Doesn’t stop it being frustrating though.
