I go by a Tesla charging station every day and see cars there for up to several hours. This seems like a waste of a huge chunk of your personal time so owning an electric vehicle sucks in that respect imo. What are people doing or can do that is productive during this wait time?
I had the same thoughts as you before owning an EV. Now it’s just something I deal with. I rarely use fast charging, I mainly use destination charging (at home, at work, at the shopping center). When I do sit at a charging station, I just find myself doing all the stuff anyone does while waiting for something. I browse the internet, write a response on @[email protected], send some work emails. Mostly stuff I would do when I’m at home as well. I just enjoy the down time and time for myself.
I don’t see fast charging as a chore, it’s just something that you “undergo” just as you would while waiting at the doctor’s office. Is it enjoyable? Not always, but it’s never a pain either. Do I hate it? No.
