    What we really need, which I'm starting to see more in western Canada, is gas stations putting in EV chargers. They're already in the right places, and have bathrooms, snack, and "car stuff" like windshield cleaners.
    Just add some fast charger stalls, use the same payment system (no stupid apps), and adapt with the times for the betterment of all
    Sadly i actually road trip every month, basically, on a packed schedule, so EVs still aren't for me. But better charging or just massively bigger batteries will get me there, and i can't wait!

The kind of station you find along most freeways. If that station had 5 islands with 4 pumps (2 per side) for total of 20 pumps. At 5 min/vehicle each pump can do 12 cars/hour. That means the station can do 240 cars/hour. So, if the same station had 20 fast chargers, and the charge time was 30 min. The station could do 40 cars/hour.

    I really love my Prologue. It's a very comfy car to drive. I found it more comfy than Tesla. I have no regrets, other than the network. Going out on a roadtrip was difficult. We found cut cables, charger communication issues, and very slow charges for some reason. For 98% of the time it's a local car, so no worries there. I still haven't driven my gas car yet, that's for the next road trip. And no, I didn't buy the Prologue, I leased it. I just don't think one should purchase an EV just yet.

    I wonder how many of these chargers are down due to vandalism. Since so many of them are located in remote areas of shopping center parking lots, it seems that it would be difficult to prevent unwanted tampering. I would love to see more charging stations adopt the gas station model of having attendants and convenience stores. I feel like that would help prevent vandalism and keep users from accidentally breaking chargers due to not knowing how to properly use them.

    The title seems unfair as the issue with charging is an issue any non tesla would have had in Southern California and who knows what the Tesla charging situation is in that area. They have a lot of Teslas down there. Also GM just got the ability to charge using Tesla chargers and that’s not mentioned in the videos and they should have know it was on the horizon. I’ve test driven this car in the top trip and an AWD Blazer EV. I prefer the Prologue. If you can get a good lease deal on it would be a very nice starter EV as it is very normal. It has normal car looks, normal door handles and nice buttons and switches. The infotainment doesn’t look as cool as the one in the Blazer EV but it has wireless Apple CarPlay and some may prefer the way it is designed. The instrument cluster is very nice and configurable. You can easily put the map in there with a press of the button. If you get the top trim of the Prologue you get everything Honda offers in the Prologue, nice and simple. Not so with the Blazers where you really need to do an investigation to figure out what each car gets. Honda enthusiasts are hard on this car because it’s a GM but my worry with buying this is more with Honda than GM. They are obviously not all in with EVs and I’d worry about long term maintenance as I’m not sure how long Honda will offer this car. Oh, and this is a big car, so that might appeal to some. It’s unusually large for an EV in the price point.

    I think it better than Model Y in term of looks and better privacy. It based on GM platform meaning you don’t need to worry about anything hit the bottom of the car and it going to cause the damaging to the battery pack. Also repairable battery pack is one of the big plus, no 200KW power distribution module under the seat. It got power switch no need to plug in all the time. (Less phantom drain) Screen locks no problem just cycle the power switch and it gone. I think it important to be able to manually reset the software. One of the most important things is it does not spy on you. As soon as power switch is off all cameras are off.
    Not sure about the charging, I had been going to LA so many times and never had problem. The only time I had problem is during the holiday there is no way to get the charger without waiting in line during holiday.

    Infrastructure sucks. So, one can make, review, promote and sell EV's until they devour the planet. But that won't change the fact that it is extremely inconvenient, if not impossible when you are out and about and on a clock to get charged back up. And that is why PHEV or Hybrids are going to rule the roads over straight EV's. The cost and the double whammy of those cars make it questionable to purchase over a straight ICE, since they too rely on gas. So, why burden yourself with those when straight gas is already in place? In another 50-100 years maybe EV vehicles will be solar powered and adequate range to be a viable alternative to ICE vehicles, but as it stands, we are still a long ways off from an EV reliable environment.

    I think Nathan's section really highlights what is holding back EVs from mass adoption. Its simply the inconsistent charging experience.
    I dont mind a 45 minute charge times for enough to get me another 150 miles or whatever, I dont road trip often enough for that to be a problem. But I cant charge at home, so I have to deal with charging networks. The high prices there, unreliable inconsistent experiance and the fact that manufacturers cant seem to decide where chargers go on the car complicating the issue of finding a charger just make the whole experience unattractive to me for anything but a second car, which I cant afford the space for. The lack of chargers in my area is also a problem since home charging is a no go (nearest charger is 20 minutes away), but that is much easier to fix than the other problems.
    The way modern EVs are designed feels like mid-century ICE automobiles with the chargers all over. Is it in the front? Back? Behind the license plate? Manufacturer emblem? Is it in the trunk? In the last 80 years gasoline filler necks have largely been standardized to either the left or right rear fender. EVs need to be the same so charging stations can start getting "one size fits all" designs and start being built with "pull through" in mind like most gas stations. We need a standardized charger that works on all vehicles so we dont need 3 dongles taking up space, and if charging infustructure insists on using some app, it also needs to be an app that works regardless of charger, might be a good idea to just put a kiosk there or something. I dont want 3 apps on my phone and trying to figure out which one I need.
    Thats what EV ownership looks like to me, a bunch of tiny annoyances that will all add up to make things feel fustrating. I am open to EV ownership, but its just nkt attractive enough at the moment. And no, I dont want a Tesla. Dont like the look of them, dont like the interiors and I dont like Musk.

    I bought a Prologue Touring. I've had it 3 months now. It's more of a family car or someone that wants a roomy, nice ride car. It is quicker than most ice cars but not as fast as most EVs, why do you need that any ways? Pretty much the same infotainment center as the Blazer, just not all the colorful icons. It has Apple Play and Google play which GM doesn't. I would recommend it to someone that wants an EV and can charge at home. Do people realize that the fast you charge your car, the worse it is on your Battery? It will degrade faster and not last as long?

    • @MichaelMiller-rg6or
      @MichaelMiller-rg6or 3 дні тому +1

      The problem is, a lot of people can’t charge at home and if that doesn’t change by 2035, which it probably won’t, people will have no choice but to use fast chargers as their sole means of charging. Chargers need to get faster, and batteries need to be designed to withstand constant fast charging. Otherwise there is no way the great EV switch will ever work.

    The dash is not nicely integrated with two separate mismatched screens! Especially the central panel being so high up, sticking out obscuring the driver's view. They could have been better designed either as one large screen like GM own or Hyundai's, or better alignment of two screens like Ford Mach-e. Vey jarring and a missed opportunity.

    But the gas stations on every corner? Still open and pumps available. And in California, the utility companies have the PUC in their pocket and they are constantly allowing the utility companies to raise rates. PG&E is on their second rate raise of the year of 25%. Electricity will soon pass gasoline in expense. Great job everyone!

    Although it may be a fine EV, if I want a GM product I will buy a GM. The Blazer EV is (IMHO) a better looking vehicle. The Lyric is far more luxurious. Glad to see that other companies are trying to compete in the EV segment. However, it kinda seems like Honda and Acura by default have kinda phoned this one in. $60K and not much performance? I think I will give this one a hard pass. There is a reason that the Model Y is the benchmark.
