herb garden this morning gathering some fresh fennel for my vegan antipasto when Zachary walked over to tell me about a conversation he had with a fellow who had rented an electric car and was trying to figure out how to charge it.
Zachary thought for a minute while rolling a spearmint leaf between his thumb and index finger, then said, “The other part of this is shifting baselines. Electric car enthusiasts think that what they know is easy to know and intuitive to others. It may not be. In my experience with EVs, it certainly isn’t. Different chargers and charging speeds. Different vehicles’ ability to accept different rates of charge. It’s a mess.
“It’s not just a new vehicle, it’s a new way of thinking about your vehicle. It’s not stopping to get gas, it’s stopping to charge the vehicle. And the components inside the vehicle are all different as well. There’s no internal combustion engine. It’s a caw with an electric motor. So there are a lot of things that are really, really different and that can be a barrier for some folks.”
I have friends who rented an electric car in Las Vegas earlier this year. They had no instructions from the rental company before they drove away. Fortunately, they were only driving locally and had enough charge to get where they needed to go and back. They told me they had no idea how to charge the car if they needed to.I told the group this morning that a lot of the blame for this cockamamie situation belongs to the manufacturers.
