The Electric Vehicle (EV) discussion thread (Merged)

On an EV note. Sister drives a Kia E4 dual motor.

They drove from Denver to North of Cheyenne for the Northern Lights Sat night.

Said she was doing 115 mph and didn't even realize because she was in dual motor mode. Lol.

But her main complaint is charging stations. She said it's maddening right now. Says each mfg had own proprietary plug so she can't charge at Rivian or Lucid. Says the charging stations that are universal usually 2 won't even work. The one she used in Cheyenne that evening was to be 120kw/hr but the screen said it was charging at only 30kw/hr. Said you can contact them to "reboot" station and most of time that works for 5 min then back down or it stops working altogether.

Gotta get the infrastructure right to make this thing (more EVs on road) work.

I'd love to have, but I don't think I want the headache of having to find a station and hope they have a working charger. And Louisiana isn't blazing any trails in that regard.
