Watched an interesting video with Schmee where he's trying to get to Germany and back from the UK in his Taycan Turbo, and it's almost comical how many glitches and hiccups he encounters.

At one point he does a calculation and figures that it costs almost the same to charge the car is it would for a full tank of petrol in his Ferrari Lusso.
Similar issues happened on MKBHD's video in which a Mach-E, Model S and Q5 had a long road trip. Electrify America messed up so many times at different stations that the Mach-E was at a disadvantage of 6 hours and had to reroute to a different route.

I don't understand how the government can be pushing EV's on us so much without helping the charging network (outside of Superchargers) improve greatly.
