Unless you forget to plug in, then the fix is not as simple as hopping to the gas station.

Or you live in an apartment building with only public outdoor parking, then you can just forget about EV, unless you want to WFChargeStation.



Forgetting to plug in is like forgetting to bring your keys. It becomes second nature pretty fast. You always do it after you park, unless you do 20 errands a day or something. It takes five seconds.

Forgetting to plug in will rarely be a big issue unless you forget 3-4 days in a row. Flipwise, there have been many times where I've forgotten to fill up before coming home and had to make a side-trip to a gas station before heading out.

As for apartment dwellers. The economics of EVs for people without access to home charging are pretty different you miss out on one of the biggest benefits -> rarely having to fill up.
