Shocking...well, maybe not, but I see a lot of posts from new EV owners that just didn't realize they couldn't quickly/totally "fill up" whenever they stopped to charge and ended up turning a 6 hour trip into a 10 hour trip because they kept charging to 100%. That turns a potentially very peasant EV trip into a nightmare, when a little understanding, learning and planning saves you from that problem.Well perhaps it is because of pilot training or perhaps because of the ubiquity of Tesla chargers or perhaps because of engineering background or maybe all three that I simply did not find the paradigm shift major at all. I found myself wondering what all the fuss was about. Did you really find it shocking.
I strongly encourage planning. If I had had a tool like ABRP for planning trips in ICE cars or airplanes I would have used it.
Because of the concerns I see here I approached a guy charging a Bolt at a rest stop and asked his impressions of the CCS network. He said in essence "No problem". I am hoping my first trips in my R1T will not turn out to be shockers!
