EV Charging Doesn't Need to Be as Fast as Gas, Ionna CEO Says

I remember one of the arguments against EV’s were that “there’s so few chargers compared to gas”.

And then you realise that chargers are literally at homes, workplaces, parking lots and ALSO at gas stations.

Which makes speed less important. The headline is spot on.

And then you realise that chargers are literally at homes, workplaces, parking lots and ALSO at gas stations.

Perhaps if you were in an apartment complex without access to a home charger, but many complexes have added EV charging as amenities. Most people don’t drive very far on a daily basis, well within the range of most EVs. Heck, I make a 50 mile round trip commute to the other end of the city and I only charge once a week at home usually, unless I’m doing a bunch of other stuff outside work.

Charging at home means you almost never need to charge anywhere else unless you’re on a trip, that most people do only once or twice a year. And for trips, charging stations along highways were some of the first to be installed.
