"Complication No. 2: Few charging stations. Since a charger at this first location might be available in five minutes or five hours (no way to know), we moved on to the next closest station – 30 minutes away. Complication No. 3: The battery was at 31%. I asked my husband, 'About how long will it take to fully charge the battery?' He said two hours. TWO HOURS!!! Keep in mind, this is a top-of-the-line EV with the extended battery. He said, 'We can park the truck, charge it, and then grab an Uber and go get some dinner.' We are now almost an hour into this process and our choice is to sit in the truck for two hours or pay even more money for an Uber, which is guaranteed to be an ICE vehicle. "But this is going to be cheap, right? I mean, it's just electricity, and gas costs so much more! Nope. Complication No. 4: To charge the battery from 31% to 90% (not even a full charge) was $77. That's about what it would have cost for gasoline.
