    Do most EV drivers use charging stations regularly? I would have thought most drivers would charge at home for day-to-day usage, and only use charging stations for long trips.

    There’s no question that the lack of standards is stupid. I’m curious if industry will sort itself out or regulation will be necessary.

      If you have an EV, unless you live in a condo/apartment that don’t let you charge, then you will only every use the stations on longer trips.
      You also might not use the station on longer trips if you can charge your car overnight at your hotel, and “only” drive for like 5 hours at a time.
