I was watching a YouTube video where somebody was showing a full charging station, and said this is a regular occurrence for them.

Given how long some cars take to charge, this seems like it could be a big issue.

Is this something any of you have experienced? What can be done about it?

    It’s something I have experienced, yes, but only once did I give up and come back later. This was before I had reliable access to chargers at work, though. During those several times where I actually waited for chargers to open up, I just hung out in my car, on Netflix or playing my Steam Deck.

    As for what can be done, your options are somewhat limited. You can hope your local government installs more chargers, but that seems like a long shot. You can try charging at off-peak hours. It’s not ideal, but fewer people seem to be charging around midnight. Do you not have access to home charging? See if your work has plans to install some L2s.

    Also, as the tech advances, charging times should go down, so this will hopefully work itself out.
