    I suspect it’s actually the minority who would be unwilling to sacrifice. Most people sacrifice every day, seemingly more and more every financial quarter, but not for any greater good. Just so that wealthy minority can pad the bottom line they think will make them safe in an increasingly precarious world.

      I’ve been forced to sacrifice. I rent a car to drive for Uber, and as a result of being forced to use an electric vehicle for this, I lose about 20% per day.

      I’m doing my part! (against my will)

          I’m glad the option exists, as a stepping stone up to buying a car.

          But losing 20% of my revenue to charging time just feels insulting. It makes it so much harder to get to that next step.

          I’m just barely scraping by, and if I could earn more I’d be out of this hole quicker.

          They say the charging time is rest time, but I’d rather just have those two hours a day at home rather than in whatever grocery store parking lot happens to be the closest when my car needs a charge.

          I also wouldn’t mind if it were an available option. The fact it’s basically the only option these days makes me feel so powerless.
