Why EV owners are getting grumpy about home charging

America is steadily switching to electricity for its driving fuel. But the early days of EV ownership are filled with bugs and small frustrations. Even the aspects of the experience that promise to be easy aren’t always easy at first.
 
When J.D. Power analysts studied the experience of using public EV chargers, they found drivers frustrated with defective chargers and balky payment apps. More than 20% of public charging attempts last year ended in failure, analysts found.
 
But that’s OK because public charging is rare, right? The promise of electric cars includes an easy, cheap refuel at home every night while you sleep.

That’s not working out well yet, either. J.D. Power’s Electric Vehicle Experience Home Charging Study finds EV owners growing less satisfied with the experience of plugging in at home.

I am not aware of ONE  SINGLE electric car being driven by any resident of the 3 local counties. I go to the local "big city" more often than I like,and have noticed the local McDonalds there has ONE charging station for electric vehicles.  This shopping center is right off the interstate,so I guess they figured traveling lefties might need it.

I have never seen it being used,though.

Not a problem,right? All they have to do is put it in gear and push it until it starts,right?
