THIS IS WHY PEOPLE DON'T BUY EVS

EV Channels Review

The reviewer details a frustrating 250-mile journey in the Audi e-tron Sportback, highlighting significant issues with EV charging infrastructure. Despite the car's quietness and some appealing features, the primary takeaway is the unreliability and poor integration of public charging. The reviewer experienced difficulty locating chargers, found the in-car navigation for charging points to be inaccurate, and encountered a non-functional charger. While the Shell charger with debit card payment was praised for its ease of use, the overall experience underscores the need for better maintenance, integration, and availability of charging stations for mass EV adoption. The reviewer also noted the e-tron's real-world range was disappointing, achieving only around 180 miles in cold weather, falling short of the expected 230-250 miles for this class of vehicle on longer journeys.
