You make valid points here
Unfortunately we went way OT
I never insisted it was made to be economical. It's about the same as luxury mid size sedan to operate
I personally love the idea and experience that I get driving/owning the car
BTW, why did you say you need to plug in every day?
You drive a lot?
Just small clarification on this 2min charging topic
I spend exactly 5 seconds plugging the car.
Just like on this video (go to 45sec):
Video pretty much explains how most owners do it:
You park your car, the cord normally hangs on a hook right next to charging port, somewhere on the wall. You really just step out of the car, grab the port and plug it in as you walk toward the door. Simple as that
You don't take cable with you just to remove it back from the car to plug in
You only take it with you when on the trip. Most owners have 80A station that's permanently installed. So their cable is always in the car for emergency use.
Logical installation is where your charge port is as you park
My point is, you are not spending more time than you'd spend with your E90 (well, except for those 5 seconds)
P.S. It's 1% of total auto market, but not for long
It will grow rapidly as more manufacturers are building mainstream electric cars and batteries are getting cheaper and better every day
Tesla kind of started this trend and hopefully others will pick up
It's just a matter of time, trust me
Just like people went from horse and buggy to a car
It'll take time, but i hope not too long
