Ontario was right to eliminate electric car subsidies

From someone I know with first hand experience, at 110V it can take days to get a full charge for a Tesla. I roll up to a diesel pump and put over a 100L in & that takes a minute and a 1/2? A friend of ours left Calgary where he bought his car and it was day three that he made it into Regina. Took a night charging at 110V at a hotel in Lethbridge and another 36hrs or so at another friends place in Swift Current (110V) in order get to Regina. I leave Regina with less than a full tank and I'm still in Calgary in seven hours or so depending on pee breaks....
Read what I wrote again. He bought his Tesla in Calgary. It didn't have a full charge when he bought it. Before you toss out insults, read what was written. I got the information that I wrote first hand from someone who owns one of these things. How about yourself?
Oh yes it can bubba. "Fast charge" isn't a full charge and the cuts your battery life in half.
Batteries hate high amp charging.
Another thing, you have to park in a heated garage. There goes any environmental benefits right there.

The 110V Charger charges at 2-3%/hour of a 100% full charge for a Tesla. Look at a map of Western Canada. A gerry can will get me to the next service station to fill my fuel tank. There's not 220V Electric Charging Stations (at this point anyway) accessible to the general public in almost every town like there are for gas and diesel vehicles.
The argument was not about whether the 110v charger was fast it was whether it existed or not.
It only became about how long it took when the goalposts were moved because obviously they exist.
The new goal post move is that super chargers decease battery life - which is moot since all tesla batterys have an 8 year unlimited mileage warranty.
I eagerly await the next moving of the goal posts.

This is from a Forum of Tesla Owners, but they
must all be Clowns too for buying Tesla's and
posting their experiences for other Tesla owners
in a conspiracy against you...

So there is such a thing as 110v charging?
its odd that Ron from Regina did not take issue with this piece of wisdom
"Like phones and tools, plugs batteries chargers and accessories are proprietary and are 240V and up."
Come on Ron!
Save Petros from his own stupidity willya.

Now, the above talks about someone commuting 6
miles to work, and he (or she) gets about 30 miles
of charge in 8hrs at 110V. The guy I'm talking about
lives east of Regina a bit and bought a Tesla. Look
where he had to go to buy one from a dealer:
What goalposts are you talking about?

Ugh....talk about moving goal posts. I stated that at 110V
it can take days (plural) to fully charge a Tesla battery.
That would imply that there is such a thing as a 110V
charger for these vehicles. Come on Man! Now you're
being deliberately obtuse.
You stated that I was a clown for stating this. There's
your moving goal post.
