Report: Electric Vehicle Owners Face 'Logistical Nightmare' in Charging Cars

Owners of electric vehicles have found there's a downside to not relying on gas, according to an ABC News report—they face a "logistical nightmare" during longer drives in locating chargers for the cars, and sometimes wait hours to access the chargers and power their vehicles. One New York father, Steve Hammes, told ABC News he has stressed over planning out how his daughter will be able to recharge her electric Hyundai Kona during her drive from Albany to college in Pennsylvania.

"It makes me a little nervous," Hammes said. "We want fast chargers that take 30 to 40 minutes—it would not make sense to sit at a Level 2 charger for hours. There isn't a good software tool that helps EV owners plan their trips."
