New Issue for EV Owners: ‘Charger Hogs’

In our continuing series of all the unintended consequences of forcing Americans to switch to electric vehicles (EVs) based on climate crisis pseudoscience, a new problem has been detected: Charger Hogs.

Recently, I drove a new Chevrolet Blazer EV from New York City to Bristol, Pennsylvania. I figured the drive down to Bristol with my family would take about 90 minutes and, since I didn’t start with a full battery, the return trip would take 15 to 20 minutes more with a stop along the way to charge up the EV some.

I was so very wrong.

It took us four hours to get home that night. We were sitting in line for electric vehicle chargers. Blame ill-mannered charger hogs who don’t respect EV etiquette. It’s like waiting for your table in a restaurant while watching people casually chat over empty plates and half-empty wine glasses.

As a reminder . EV drivers are also experiencing “range anxiety.” For this, and many other reasons, nearly 50% of EV-owners now say that they regret their purchase.
