I was watching this person's videos on the matter. And was wondering what your experience has been with EVs and your opinion on the different connectors?

You are right, it is incredibly use dependent. In a weird way, EVs kinda of outline a lot of the cultural divide in America right now. The majority of America is freaking BIG. If you live on the coast, and are road tripping on the coast, odds are 300 miles seems like a lot because it was settled by horses, but that just doesn't work for a lot of people. At least 3-4 times a year I do 400+ miles one way.

So EVs do make a ton of sense for a LOT of people, but it's definitely not all people. From what I can tell, most of the people that have that need for that range are also 2 car families, in which one EV and one ICE works perfectly. It is so close to almost there, and in many, mannnny use cases it already is. But adding 20% to my travel time was not acceptable when I was shopping for a new vehicle.
