    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.
