    @corduroy Journalist with no idea, takes a "borrowed" ev for a spin, without any understanding how it works, or any attempt to do prior research or set themselves up at home by downloading apps. Like the smh version. Where they used a 2021 model on a long trip, on the busiest weekend of the year. To whinge that evs are too slow and need charging tok often. https://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs/our-ev-saved-us-money-over-easter-but-it-required-a-stressful-trade-off-20260410-p5zms5.html Do they not realise that those splashing decent amounts of money for a ev, have not spent at least 15 minutes googling, watching YouTube, FB etc to understand charging at home and in public? Before they purchase. Can they just not talk to EV owners for their story?
