    I’m guessing you’re American. The rest of the world isn’t quite the crime ridden hellhole.

    As for charging. Filling my car up doesn’t damage the fuel tank. Fast charging a battery is not good for them.

      Do you think burning diesel doesn’t “damage” your engine? Do you think transmissions last indefinitely?

            I’m not sure where you’re getting your info from. But after 10 years of fast charging an EV’s battery’s will be royally fucked.

            But 10 years for a petrol or diesel car is nothing. My last car was 15 years old and ran like a dream until an old biddy pressed the accelerator instead of the brake in her car and wrote mine off.

              I’m not sure where you’re getting your info from but no one fast charges their battery for 10 years.

                    Batteries degrade over time and fast charging accelerates that degradation. After a decade of charging and fast charging the battery’s capacity will be a fraction of what it was when new.

                    These are facts, indisputable and verifiable facts.

                    If you think I’m trolling then I am dead right about the intelligence of the average EV driver. They’re morons in denial about their poor purchase decisions.
