EVs still have major quality problems, and it’s mostly about the software (www.theverge.com)

I was pleasantly surprised how good the Bolt was and still liked it after 3 years of leasing it. I was ready to get another one after the lease was over, but the pandemic changed my decision (working from home meant I didn't really need a nice car and definitely wasn't driving enough for the price plus-up for EV to make sense, so I got a used beater).

How did you feel about the L3 charging rate? 50kW isn’t super fast.

Barely noticed it. The only time most people would use that are on long road trips, which I only take about twice a year (most of my road trips are between 100-200 miles one way, which can be done with filling up at the destination). So if I used L3, it was for 30 minutes while grabbing lunch on the road and getting half the charge "filled." 99% of my charging was L2 at home or at destinations.
