    Inductive charging will probably scale up to eliminate the cord issues as BEV tech improves.....

    Once a year, my hands stink of gasoline.

    I do not own a BEV and I can't remember the last time that MY hands smelled like petrol.
    I also cannot remember the last time I had to think about refueling options.

    I use propane/natgas for my gennys and I was taught how to refuel my cars without spilling petrol.

    inductive charging without serious losses could be a ways away. you see very few plug in owners compaining about plugging in, because the reality is different from the fud.

    Yeah, that was my original setup too=perfect. Then, our next plug-in had the port on the opposite side of the vehicle and the fun began.

    Umm, OK.

    I bought a J1772 extension cord, Originally to deal with ICE cars parked in the EV charging lane. Later, extending from the home, L2 charger to either the Tesla or opposite side BMW.
