EV drivers struggle to find charging stations

[ptif219]

It is already starting. There is not enough chargers next there will be a shortage of electricity to charge cars and trucks

FOX Business correspondent Jeff Flock reports on New York City’s electric vehicle charger shortage amid the state’s decision to ban gas-powered cars by the year 2035.
New York is dealing with a "complicated" shortage of electric vehicle charging stations ahead of its plan to ban the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035.

FOX Business' Jeff Flock reported from New York City, Thursday, explaining that by 2030, the city says they will need an additional 40,000 plugs to fulfill the demand. According to the city of New York's last credible report in 2020, they currently have 1,500 public charging plugs.DC fast chargers, which typically fully refuels an electric vehicle at a rate of 20 to 30 minutes, are additionally suffering from a shortage in New York City. They currently have 117 chargers and need more than 5,500 more to achieve their 2030 goal.

Flock noted that, while it's most sensible to put chargers "where the people are," some popular charging stations -- including the one he reported from in Thursday's 'Varney & Co.' segment -- have not received great reviews on PlugNYC, the city's online network of publicly accessible EV chargers.Flock reported from a charging station on 4 West 93rd street that received a slew of complaints from consumers. These reviews have shone a light on some of the unique issues that can come with mandating electric vehicles.

"One person says this is slow and expensive, often blocked by ice. Another one says blocked by a car. Another says ice from this morning until now. And another says a Tesla is parked there, but it's not charging," Flock said to host Stuart Varney.
The nationwide push for electric vehicles has brought a "complicated" issue to the city of New York that has the potential to burden residents for years.

Do you idiots have a cell phone? Type in charging stations and your zip code. Then you can narrow it down to neighborhoods. You will be surprised to find out how many there are and how convenient they are. But of course, most EV drivers charge at home and never NEED a charging station. But if you are eating at a restaurant or shopping, you can top off while you go about your business.

The truth is it's easier to find a charging station than it is to find a place to air up your tires yourself, as most of them either had the hose cut off- or they eat your quarters then don't work.

And most people are more frustrated about that!

So first things first man!

And, if you don't have an EV, stop bitching about things that don't even concern you Mr. BITCHY BODY SNOOTY TOOT!

Do you idiots have brains? Last summer CA couldn't provide the energy if needed and had rolling blackouts. The enviropussies don't want more power plants but the assholes want to ban ICE vehicles so there will be higher demand for electricity but no way to provide it. Fucking morons

Can't charge at home if you live in an apartment!

Okay. You have a list of charging stations you can go wait in line for.

Tires are not fuel or a charge, dumbass.

Apartments have chargers nowadays. But do you think everyone lives in an apartment? Do you think if there are no chargers, they will buy an EV? That was a typical weak response for you.

Never said they were idiot!

I have never seen a line. Where do you live with those long lines? As usual, you are making shit up. Since you do not have an EV, you have no experience with them. So you make shit up.

 

[Into the Night]

Apartments have chargers nowadays.

Very few.

But do you think everyone lives in an apartment?

A lot of people do. What about them?

Do you think if there are no chargers, they will buy an EV?

Why would they?

That was a typical weak response for you.

No, this is YOU taking things out of context, making special pleadings, and word stuffing, just like always.

 

[Into the Night]

Never said they were idiot!

Yes you did. You want to deny your own post again????

 

[Into the Night]

I have never seen a line.

You claim to never go to charging stations. You charge at home, remember?

Where do you live with those long lines?

The PNW.

As usual, you are making shit up.

Nope. There's a line at the nearby charging station right now.

Since you do not have an EV, you have no experience with them.

Don't need any.

So you make shit up.

I don't need to own an EV to see the line. I don't need to own an EV to know how long they take to charge. I don't need to own an EV to understand the problems with range and performance. I don't need to own an EV to understand Li-ion batteries and what they can do and what they have done (destroy cars, container ships, etc). I don't need to own an EV to observe a freeway and see that less than 1% of the cars on the road are EVs. I don't need to own an EV to see the problems with lithium supplies, cobalt supplies, electrical supplies, or the difficulty in maintaining them that YOU IGNORE.
I don't need to own an EV to watch government steal my money to pay for YOUR incentives, and to impose mandates for EVs. I don't need to own an EV to understand the science you reject, the engineering you reject, or the math you reject, or the history you reject.

Strawman fallacy.

My eyes do not fall off when I go someplace. There are charging stations in innumerable places, like malls, restaurants parking structures, restaurants, parking lots, municipal bldgs, and schools. Never saw a line. However, my son does charge when he goes out. He tops off at places. You are wrong as usual.
You are an example of someone who speaks of what he knows nothing about, pretending the knowledge that you demonstrate is lacking. That is a credentials fallacy.

It's a fascination to me how the anti-EV folks are all people who don't own any EV's, don't know what is involved and just make shit up about what they THINK is the problem.

No one really thinks EV's are perfect yet, nor does anyone actually think they are a fill-in for every type of vehicle. But it's a revolution and it is starting. And no matter how much the folks who hate progress scream it won't stop the movement.

I own 4 air compressors of various sizes from two pancake types, one contractor pack, and an 80 gallon vertical. I think I know where to find air to fill a tire...

Do you think nearly everyone has those compressors? Does your collection solve the tire problems for the whole country? I see lots of people having trouble finding places to fill a tire.

I'm not speaking for everyone. I made the comment about my own situation. Oh, I almost forgot... I have two smaller compressors for use with airbrushes...
