Re: Why does every ev need its own charging cable?
My question is why you'd take along a charge cable *at all*.
If I had one of these I'd make it charge at home, but otherwise use the electrical part to recover energy via regenerative braking and mainly run it in mixed mode. This means that I'll have low cost domestic use, but fairly normal long distance use - I exactly like hybrids because you can still get home after the battery is low. OK, if I visited another place often (like my office) I'd have a cable there too, but that's about it.
I can only see me take along the charge cable for a long trek where I would not be returning home for a while.
