Hi everyone,

I’m a long time EV driver (first one being a Twizzy back in 2013) and I was wondering: have you ever waited to charge on DC fast charger on the highway for example?

One of my ev-skeptic colleagues told me I saw multiple lines of multiple EVs waiting to charge on the highway this summer. I never witnessed it or being through this myself and I’m more incline to think that this is grossly exaggerated but you never really know… so have you had such experience?

    I don’t do trips longer than my battery capacity because the DC charge rate on my car is abysmal (50kw). I therefore don’t use DCFC and as such haven’t experienced a line.

    I fully expect that holiday traffic surges would result in lineups in my geographic area. There’s lineups at gas stations.

        I had a very basic Renault Zoé (40kWh battery, 22kW AC charging) until today, so I feel the pain.

        But on the bright side, it’s very difficult to have to wait for a charger
