EVs suck. They're too complicated, too expensive, too hard to keep running, battery tech isn't there, limited range, etc...
There is not one EV charging station in my town, nor in my whole county, I think.
I don't know of any in FW, but apparently you can charge it at home in only 15 hours through a 50A dryer plug. It looks like the cord is $700.
It looks like a 440V quick charger will run about $5,000 + install. It looks like a 200A main electrical service is the minimum required. You will probably get an 80% charge in about two hours.
The automakers have lost their minds. What a clusterfuck.
