QOTD: What's Your EV Charging Disaster Story?
Ok, so, yesterday's EV charging snafu wasn't a disaster, more of a mere annoyance. But using "disaster" made for better headline, don't you think?
Anyway, I have had one truly dreadful EV charging experience and a few minorly annoying ones. What about you? If you own an EV or have rented/borrowed one, do you have a charging disaster story?
If you do, you know what to do. Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

No disaster, but a consistent inconvenience and time waster. If you can't charge at home, don't get an EV. Also, don't get an EV if you plan on even occasional out of town trips.
Keeping my Equinox @ 31 MPG no matter how I drive it. Just turned 40K miles and no issues, period. Glad I sold the Bolt.
