    My mother-in-law owned one. Before we got her a charger for home she had to go to a charging station. Also, if you’re on a roadtrip you can end up charging while you’re out. Most of the time you would be charging overnight, but not all the time.

      Newer “level 3” chargers can charge newer batteries from 20% to 80% inside of 20-30 minutes now. It’s pretty impressive!

      I kinda hope charging rest stops that run on solar and have cafés and stuff where people can chill a few minutes and stretch their legs become a thing. :)

      Edit: I realize the thread I’m in, and I just wanna say: Hooray, love bikes! Love riding my bike. Which I could get more places on it, honestly.

      Electric car was next best thing because I gotta commute like 40 miles each way to my job here in the USA, and it hits 105ºF pretty often. Also: Nice for road trips. :)

      Would love to be free of it though. . .

      Edit edit: Love the writeup, BTW. :D Good stuff!
