The ability to be able to run AC all night at a charging station is brilliant actually.
I'm going to add this to the list of outlandish "benefits" of EVs. For all the hassle, you can "Sleep in your car!"

HAHA. I guess as long as you park close enough to an electric plug that you can hog all night.

Yes, people were desperately crying out for the ability to sleep in their car, as if RVs haven't existed for a hundred years!

Well...there are these big buildings with rooms, beds, air conditioning, running water, and sometimes a bar....that you can stay in and pay by the night when you're away from home. I think they call them "hotels".

The ability to sleep in your car sounds like a solution in search of a problem.

Yes that was one of the more bizarre "benefits" I've heard.

People have been sleeping in ICE cars since they were invented.
