Are You A ‘Charging Hog?’ If So, You Are Making EV Ownership More Annoying

Doug McIntyre highlights the challenges EV owners face with limited charging infrastructure and the issue of “charging hogs”—drivers who charge their vehicles to 100%, taking longer than the more common 80% charge. This leads to long lines at charging stations, which often have limited spots. McIntyre argues that without regulations on charging times, the inconvenience of waiting could make EV ownership less appealing compared to the quick fill-ups at traditional gas stations.
