  • I have a Nissan leaf and installed a level 2 outlet at my house to avoid this.

    It charges overnight so I wake up and drive to work with a full battery.

    Since I usually use it to commute it’s perfect. I have had to use chadmo stations (level 3 and slower than Tesla stations) when on longer trips. That takes about 45 minutes to fully charge? Usually I just top up so I can get home if my range is a bit short.

    Some of the newer EVs can use super fast charging stations and fully charge in under 20 mins but those stations are rare. I think to get widespread adoption we would need cars that can hyper charge (or whatever it’s called) and those chargers to be all over.

    I was driving a Volvo xc70 with the flip up rear facing third row seats.

    That thing was choice.

    I could fit so much stuff and friends/family in it and the gas mileage was heaps better than an suv (not amazing but better).
    I wish there were more out there being made.

    Now I’m driving a Nissan leaf and when I got it titled it was listed as a station wagon which I thought was funny.
