Free Electrify America DC fast charging on earth day. If they're working and not too busy. Good way to save a couple bucks.

What the heck is "forced"? You really trust your shit media. I lived in China for 20 years and it is just a normal country except you can't vote. Politics there sucks but forced work? They are not idiots. Underpaid yes. It's a country with $10k GDP per capita and you never expect they have the same salary as we here in the US. You have to be thankful for their low salary otherwise you can not afford your life. Oh not to mention that Chinese workers are not lazy as you guys, maybe you can call them "work stupidly hard for tyrant" but your entire life, or every single person's life in the world are getting better because they Chinese are willing to work and produce better product with much less price. There is a reason why made in China killed any industries all over the world. You have no idea how hard working and smart they are, and uneven with the heavy burden of a really suck politic, they are beating us here.
As for the pollution, there is no reason China and any developing country will or can do anything. The west establish the capital and tech advantage 100 years ago, and can use any advanced tech to reduce and protect the environment. Not the case for developing countries. They have left behind tech, and the only way they can still compete with western companies is count no cost to pollution. If you want China and India, including others say no to pollution, pay them to do so. Or just shut up and enjoy your everyday life with cheap made in China and mind your own business.
also, when everything is ev, can our current infrastructure even allow millions of drivers to charge?
It's certainly not a perfect solution, and it's fair to be critical of the environmental issues of any part, but dismissing EV's as bad for the environment and not mentioning how much worse ICEs are is myopic.
Couldn't reload for a couple hours. Got enough kW to do everything I wanted yesterday. But CS at EA focused on the app being the issue. My wife tried to make an account with zero success as well due to the funding issue.
Never even got the promised call back.
Screw VW and their lamebrained overpriced apology for Diesel-gate.

Sure some will make end of life, but many can be refurbished.

Some say that the batteries that no longer hold full charges could be reused to store energy from renewables (e.g. solar and wind specifically).
The issue is that the battery packs aren't fully recyclable [wired.com]. Right now the best way is to essentially grind the whole thing up (removing casings and etc first) then use a series of chemicals to leech out the different components. Even then you're left with a nasty slurry of crap that's refuse, the technology simply isn't there to revert the battery to all of its individual components. This extra, very expensive, recycling step is not accounted for in the total lifecycle cost of EV's. It's easy to see why since with an ICE, you just melt the whole thing down and start anew.
Now tell us how much electricity is used to refine and distribute gasoline. Gasoline isn't pulled from the ground and brought straight to the pump.
Make the most of Earth Day with a free charging session* at one of 740+ participating Electrify America ultra-fast charging stations on April 22, 2022. No promo code needed, just pull up and plug in. Then get ready to take on the roads ahead like never before.

Tell that to the people who wait in those long lines at Costco instead of just going to the next gas station.

Did you try a different network? Did you do have problems with the same CC elsewhere? This is the biggest and main problem with EV charging. Why can't they just be simple to use. I mean if you can use a credit card to get a soda at a vending machine surely they could do the same with charging.

My EV will only pull up to a relatively slow 50kW (about 48kWh in practice). For that charge rate, it's $0.16/min. $3.20 for 16.7kWh. I easily get over 4mi/kWh most days, so that's about 65 miles for $3.20. Still pretty cheap.
Higher-power charging curves complicate matters, so the above is an estimate. I only fast charge on road trips, but for 99% of my driving, a plain old 110V outlet will do just fine. I get about 40miles of range overnight. There's a free L2 charger nearby that I use frequently that puts on about 25 miles of range every hour. Between the free L2 and my 110V home charger, that suits my needs just fine, and inexpensively, too.
Nice to hear someone else has no problems with charging using a 120v outlet at home. Been doing that for the past 3 years.
