My Ioniq 6 only takes 20-30 minutes to go from 20-80% and still has the 2 years free charging from Hyundai on top of the $7500 lease offer. The only negative I have about the Ioniq 6 is the sensor needs an update because when you're stopped at a red light it'll randomly go off warning you that you're too close. It mostly happens when it's close to a Ford vehicle. Some speculate that it's the radar that Ford uses that makes the I6 thinks something is moving.
Come up with a replaceable battery, then create battery swap; stations and have it be like cell service used to be you sign up with Chevron or 7-11 and you can take your car to any 7-11 swap the battery and pay for the difference between charge left in the old battery and charge level of the new one.
That way no need to charge at home they cane have fast chargers at the 7-11 that can cool the battery packs and charge them using solar or off peak times.
No need to worry about your battery pack no longer holding a charge and if you plan to travel a distance you can sign up for a "roaming plan" so you can get a battery swap done at a 7-11 or a QuikStop!
The people with a lot to lose from the demise of "Gas Stations" will have a new and better revenue stream.
They've ruined any possibility at any kind of EV standardization, starting with their chargers and battery designs that are part of the chassis (take a look at a disassembly video and you'll see that this would be impossible to do with a Tesla).
On a broader scale, the charging aspect isn't necessarily the issue. It's more of a case of not having an infrastructure that was in any way forward thinking.
I mean, you have homes built all the way into the 80s that aren't even pre-wired to support electric stoves and dryers, let alone a 3-phase charger.
In order to have a battery swap station, you're still going to have to have infrastructure that can charge the batteries. You'd also have to figure out what an appropriate duty cycle looks like, as current battery technology doesn't hold up when placed on constant charge (this could be as simple as "calling ahead" to reserve a battery, but we don't even have cell service built up enough to support this).
Another argument that now seems reasonable after all the catalytic converter thefts we've seen is how do you prevent your EV battery from getting stolen while simultaneously making it easy enough to swap?

You have 100 cars come through a station in a day you needed to have 100 extra packs on hand and they have different wear levels etc..
Tesla shut that station down after seeing how pointless it is. The real solution is to cut charging time by another 50% or so.
For people who don't leave town much, EVs seem like an excellent option, with the biggest downside being battery replacement costs down the road. On a lease deal this attractive, though, this is a no brainer for people driving less than 100 miles a day.
Not because the inconvenience of charging every 300 miles, but because I don't want the expenses related to driving 2000 miles. When I get home, I spent around 250 bucks on the rental and saved several hundreds of dollars worth of wear, tear, and depreciation.

That would be especially good if you don't need it daily — you could use slower level 1 charging in your garage (ie the regular home outlet plug). No need to get an appliance (level 2) plug installed.
For $241/m, it's an interesting impulse buy. Just wish the Lexus version would have a fire sale too
Great price point... for the local tool-around auto only. And not a primary. Suburban second car.
why does an EV become a sudden issue?
did you bash the Mach e for being called a mustang?
If you don't think people criticize electric vehicles based on the electric nature and instead because its a car, you're delusional.
Why is EV a sudden issue? IDK, good question, the hate I get from car people and assumptions they make are insane.
I go to a car meet with my tesla people judge and literally boo me. Yet the same car group 2 weeks later I show up in a 718 GT4 RS and they ask me to park in the front and talk cars. Only thing that changed was the car I arrived in.
Any yes, the Mustang namesake was a poor choice. So was a the lightning. However, I wouldn't judge someone for driving one or assume they're political views or vehicle knowledge.

but are you showing up in a Tesla to show off the car? Might as well as show up in a 2-4th gen Prius or some modded charger/camaro. it's boring.
The Ioniq 6 lease deal is better for road tripping (240 kW max charge speed).
