Thinking About Buying an Electric Vehicle? Here's What You Need to Know About Charging
By Nathan Bomey/ USA Today/ Money/ Cars/ usatoday.com
"When Macy Claprood was making the commute to Miami for her summer job, she glanced at the instrument panel in her Nissan Leaf and realized she had to fill up — on electricity.
Claprood, 21, of Fort Lauderdale, had to stop halfway at a mall parking lot to top off the batteries in her electric car.
She didn’t have a choice “because I wasn’t going to make it,” she said.
Every driver who decides to go electric faces the same anxieties about charging. It’s the more complicated part of owning an electric car, especially since outside the home garage, charging stations can be few and far between.
The good news is that powering up is only going to get easier and more convenient. Plus, there’s the payoff: the money saved by not having to buy gasoline.
