Life took me to the local mall with the family. There are 4 EV (electrify?) charging stations and 4 cars charging: a Bolt, a Polestar and 2 Hyundai. All connected, 2 empty and 2 with drivers waiting inside.
Across the aisle another Hyundai Ionic 6 and a BMW IX showed up waiting their turn.
I talked to the driver of Polestar, told him that I’m curious about Polestar and that I’ll be shopping this weekend to replace my crashed Volt. He said he likes his Polestar 2, his Mom gave him the car 6 months ago. He gets 210 miles. His Dad has a Tesla but he likes the Polestar better. Braked automatically when a deer jumped in front of the car.
Anyway back to charging… sucks to see people waiting in line for better infrastructure. It was 7:40 PM and his car should be fully charged by 8:20. I guess those other drivers need to wait their turn.
OK as I was typing thus one car left and the IX pulled up and started their charge. The Ionic 6 is still waiting.
