Re: More on EVs from a guy trying to sell them

My girlfriend was quick to buy a Volvo EV. I won't get into why she did that, no more than to say she lives in California Anyway, it's a pain in the ask, but she insists that she loves the car.

For instance today she traveled from Sac. to Monterey, and couldn't find an available charger anywhere. She couldn't even spend much energy looking for a place, because should she even try, the chargers may not be available, never mind at times they don't work at all.

With luck she arrived at her daughters place with 10% left over. That's cutting it close, what if there's a traffic jam, after all, it's California. Then she had the challenge that she can't leave tomorrow as planned, because it's not charged. Her daughter only has a 110, that's like watching grass grow. Anyway, before dinner they managed to locate an available fast charge, and barely squeezed in.
