Reply to comment by Surur in New Nio 500 kW ultra-fast Power Charger 3.0 can charge a car from 10-80% in only 12 minutes by Surur
It’s already largely a non-issue from a day to day basis for many people. I wake up to a “full tank” every day and spend 0 time thinking about it.

This is honestly the best take. People (including myself) gripe and moan about accessibility to charging stations and speed and quality etc. But these stations are truly just a supplement. Out side of long commutes and road trips, I don't ever think about charging. I charge at home with a level 1 trickle charge, and sometimes I'll plug in at the grocery store while I shop just to top off.
I think most.people truly don't need a super duper level 100 charger to top them off in 8 minutes. I need chargers that are reliable and actually work when I pull up to them first and foremost. Beyond that I just want a charger that can get me a good chunk back while a grab milk and eggs at the grocery, or a fast and convenient plug and play while I stop at a gas station to use the bathroom and grab a coffee

Totally. I feel for apartment dwellers, but that can be solved by ac charging solutions. I personally don’t see a use case for dc chargers being much faster than they are now for road tripping. Stopping every 200 miles for a potty break and snack is longer than people like to admit. Whenever there’s a debate it’s always the “I drive 500 miles nonstop and piss in water bottles and make my kids shit in travel toilets.” 🙄

The only issue is using fast chargers only for apartment dwellers isn’t going to be great for their barriers no?
