‘Tis the season to have to wait in line to charge your Tesla. Although the holiday season is now behind us, many were caught in queues for hours as they waited for an electric car charging station so they could continue their treks.
Dylan Sumbler shared a video showing the huge line of 23 cars waiting to charge their vehicle at Tebay Services in Cumbria, U.K., as people returned home from their Christmas break. He was shocked to see the long line of Teslas with many of the drivers becoming increasingly frustrated as they waited in the stationary queue.
Sumbler included the caption: “OMG, what a nightmare, some had been waiting for over an hour and not moved at all and the queue was getting bigger and bigger, eight cars charging and 23 waiting… a LOT of very unhappy Tesla drivers.
“I replaced my EV in May and it makes me seriously consider if a Tesla Model Y is the right option for me. Maybe Elon [Musk] has offered free charging as a Xmas present?”
Experts are now claiming that the video highlights the lack of infrastructure in place to keep up with electric vehicles. The problem could become even worse before it gets better due to the increasing popularity of EVs and Teslas.
