If America is ever going to warm up to EV's, they really need to figure out the charging times. Very few are going to want to spend 30 minutes to charge enough to drive 80 miles like in almost every existing EV. We're all used to spending 2 minutes at a gas station right down the road from our house.

The people who bring up all these really long lines at every gas station in this country are liars. There are none. MAYBE in a big city where one station is under some sort of construction and it's really busy. Even then there are still many options. Maybe drive 1/4 mile down the road to another station.

They're just as bad as the people who say that pumping gas in the cold weather is a drawback. Like it's going to hurt you to stand outside for 15 seconds to insert your debit card and PIN and insert the nozzle. Then get back inside your car and then when it's done you spend another 8 seconds putting the pump back and tightening the gas cap. Those people are obviously grasping at straws in justifying their EV purchase. Lol

I think the term EV is just wrong, they should be called ECVs - external combustion vehicles as fossils are still being burned to generate electricity. In the case of the Bolt, it should be called SCV - spontaneously combusting vehicle.
