Man, the EV community is so different from the ICE crowd
« on: April 12, 2023, 11:31:47 PM »
During that 30 minutes of charging, complete strangers have no problem chit chatting with each other about EV while waiting for their EV cars to get charged. Families do family things during that time such as play and bond...That EV community seems so friendly and calm at those charging stations compared to what I've observed at gas stations....

It's a super charger so using the super charger plug for this one:






Families just chilling for that 30 minutes:

Well... when you have tons of time just waiting, chit-chatting, exercising etc etc kills time...

You never see people at gas station sitting around chit-chatting or exercising because you don't need to stand around for an hours waiting for your car to fill up. It's done within a couple of minutes and you're on the road again. Beside, people have to watch and pay attention when filling up their vehicle.

One of the first Tesla charging stations built in the U.S. and I've always felt it was the perfect spot for it because we stopped there for lunch/dinner and to fuel our ICE vehicles up too  O0:

Trying out the self driving recently on a Tesla and it’s amazing even the cruise control was impressive.


I can attest to what king said.
