Just as with the Covid narrative, the truth is poking through the EV narrative. From Eric Peters at ericpetersautos.com:
It’s interesting to note that the EV “transition” is only about three years old – about as long as the “pandemic” took to grow old and for many people to become rightly cynical about what they were sold.
About “masks” and “vaccines” then. And charging EVs, just now.
It’s turning out to be not quite what was advertised – and people are becoming more . . . hesitant about it, as a result. A new J.D. Power study finds customer satisfaction with the EV charging infrastructure is declining.
The 2023 U.S. Electric Vehicle Experience (EVX) Public Charging Study finds that “Despite the increase in public charging stations across the United States, customer satisfaction with public Level 2 charging has declined to 617 (on a 1,000-point scale), 16 points lower than a year ago and the lowest level since the study began in 2021.”
Shades of “safe and effective,” eh?
Level II – in EV etymology – refers to the kind of charging that is one step below Level III “fast” charging, which only takes about 6-7 times as long (about 30-45 minutes) to recover a partial (80 percent) charge as it takes to get a full tank, which you can get in about five minutes or less.
At a Level II charger, you can get a partial charge in a few hours.
