Yeah this type of news makes people think current EVs are not enough and need to stick with gas. The realistic approach would be to be relying on consistent charging network that people can plug into for long periods of time and there needs to be more than two chargers per location. Yet right now people don't realize the necessary infrastructure upgrades to make our live more green and viable.

Current EVs are not enough. Charging the car for long periods of time each day is out of the question for most of the people in my city.

Also, bullshit on the "more green and viable". Getting rid of cars altogether does that. Not switching to EVs. It's a badaid solution.
