A family in Vermont waited four hours to charge their car before returning home to Massachusetts, and a woman who traveled from Utah to Arkansas waited two hours to charge her EV.
Families in at least two states waited in long lines to charge their electric vehicles following Monday’s solar eclipse.
WCVB reported that a family who traveled from Wakefield, Massachusetts, to Vermont to view the eclipse stopped to charge their Tesla before returning home, only to find 60 people lined up at a charging station in St. Johnsbury, in northern Vermont.
The family coordinated with others to hand out numbers and coordinate the long lines of EVs. They waited four hours to charge their Tesla, according to WCVB, and the last number they handed out before heading home was 189. More cars were lining up to charge as the family was leaving. They didn’t get home until 4 a.m. Tuesday.
It was a similar story in Van Buren, Arkansas. According to CBS News affiliate 5NEWS, at 6:30 p.m., 40 EVs were lined up at a charging station at a general store, waiting to fill up their batteries.
Another case of not thinking ahead. Keep buying those EVs and you will keep getting delays, you may not even get a charge, if big brother tells the bank to block your card use. You can still pay for gas with cash.
I still remember the long gas lines in 1970’s – 1980’s due to the oil embargo / gas shortages.
The odd and even days and rationing. I believe gas back was around .55 cents per gallon. People lost their ever loving mind when gas hit a dollar per gallon.
So let the EV drivers suffer. They bought these crap mobiles. Let them live with it.
Next virtue signal – “I’m so woke I waited 4 hours in line just to hook up my EV!”
EV idiots !!!!!
