    This is wild. I knew California had a large number of EVs, but are the Superchargers around there slammed that badly or is this some show-boat exercise?

          Not ‘a bunch’.

          Stellantis just announced it this week, which makes it every major brand with EVs in NA.

          There some small players like Ferrari that haven’t, but it’s pretty much everyone of note now.

      NACS is the US charging standard. Tesla is building out capacity as nothing kills EVs like the inability to charge. Meanwhile, it is basically just Tesla building building out NACS chargers, so Tesla is doing so.

      Busses are slower, are less reliable, and don’t let you take as much stuff with you.

      Trains are slower, cost more, are less reliable, and don’t let you take as much stuff with you.

      Planes cost more, are less reliable, only work for long-haul, and don’t let you take as much stuff with you.

      So, yes. EVs are pretty fucking nice.

        I think you’re just describing poorly implemented bus and train systems.

        I miss when I lived somewhere with a better transit system that gave me the option. Taking a bus or light rail downtown or to the airport was so much easier and cheaper than finding and paying for parking.
