Yes, something like a grocery store or a hotel with an outlet in front of it for electric cars. They don't exist much around my neck of the woods. As electric cars get more and more popular, I expect free charging will go the way of the do-do. Tesla occasionally offers free supercharger use. They offered unlimited free on some older model cars. They most recently came out with 10,000 miles free supercharger use as an incentive in December last year, but only for that month. It’s not going to be just electricity that isn’t going to be free. Wait until they start taxing for usage in order to make up for the lost gas tax, nobody is telling us about that yet.

The ride, utility, technology and performance are unparalleled in this type of vehicle. I’ve spent a lot of time in the Rivian and while it’s cool (and fast), it’s not on the same level in any one of those metrics. Yes I need to replace the dorky OEM rims but otherwise damn, it’s a cool truck. That’s pretty cool. But, I think that the wheels are part of the electric drive motor cooling isn’t it? I like to punch the accelerator, let off and watch the auto braking regen … then click on the screen and see that the regen charged the battery back to where I started at. Price Adjusted to $117,500
