Lack of Charging Infrastructure:

This hurdle really varies by location. If you can charge at home and/or work and you don’t
travel long distances, you might be all set. Some city or apartment dwellers, unfortunately,
aren’t able to charge at home due to a lack of a driveway or garage. Instead, they must rely on
public chargers in parking garages and shopping centres — or agreements with friends or
neighbours. Even if vehicle chargers are conveniently located, they might be occupied.

Charging Time

The amount of time it takes to charge a car depends on the battery capacity and the speed of
the charger. A standard wall charger can take 8 hours to charge a Tesla Model S, whereas a
supercharger would take 1 hour. Many chargers that you will encounter out and about will
take at least 2 hours to charge a discharged battery fully.

Difficulty Finding a Mechanic

Although electric cars require less maintenance and fewer repairs, it is still important to find a
qualified mechanic in your area. Unfortunately, 97% of mechanics are not qualified to work
on electric vehicles. Of the 3% that is, many of them work for dealerships.

Unfortunately, electric vehicle owners have fewer options for qualified mechanics.
Thankfully, electric vehicle owners typically visit their mechanics less because their cars
require fewer fluids (like transmission fluid and oil) and have fewer moving parts.
