PSA: I used to plan my whole ride around gas stations, now I just check the PlugShare app.

Back in 2019, I'd map out my route from Toronto to Ottawa based on where I knew the Petro-Canadas were. Now, with more public chargers in places like the mall in Kingston, I just open the app and go. Has anyone else found they're way less stressed about range on longer trips now?

Honestly felt that shift myself. Drove up to the cottage last weekend and just tapped the app when I got low. Found a fast charger at a hardware store I never knew had one. Tbh it's night and day from just a couple years ago.

Totally get that. Last year I drove from Chicago to St. Louis and just winged it with the apps. Found a charger at a grocery store lot in Springfield while I grabbed lunch. It used to be a whole spreadsheet situation, but now it just feels normal, like finding a coffee shop. The infrastructure is finally catching up.
