“Charge That Thing? Let Us Count The Ways”

Most EV owners take car charging for granted. After charging a few times, the novelty of the activity and the ‘No gas station visits!’ realization wears off. This is replaced with a habit of plugging in after getting home from a trip and the expectation that their car will be ready for the next trip.

Of course, there are exceptions - not every EV owner has a home charging station and must rely on public charging. That said, with long-range EVs at all price points coming to the market and EV charging infrastructure improving, it will be more convenient to keep a car charged regardless of your home charging situation.

The following NPR article nicely summarizes the various EV charging scenarios and options and offers good information for EV owners and anyone interested in EVs.
