    Without doxxing myself, the nearest charging station to my previous workplace is like 500 metrrs away. It’s only got 2 outlets too… Mostly used all the time with no gaps. It’s also dead in the middle of the busiest area.

    The other one is about 1km away.

    With charging it would double my time getting to work probably. I don’t think I can leave the car plugged in for 8 hours either… I’d have to get out of work, take my car off the charger then go back.

    If I charge it at home instead of at work I’d need to drive a very very short distance but again, I’d need to come back and get my car later after it’s charged.

    I really don’t have time in my day to keep juggling this charging routine. I can barely keep up with just regular car maintenance which I don’t often do…

    If I could charge at home it would be a whole different story, but most people here live in flats with 0 access to large parking garages let alone charging stations.

    And yea agreed on the used market.

    I kinda wish I had the means to buy one sometimes, but so many things would need to be right before that can happen that I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime :-)) :-/

    Edit: oh and in rural areas just forget it lol, though I guess in that case I could install a charger at home which would solve A LOT of my gripes
