I like the idea of having the option to stop and smell the flowers, not the imposition to do so.

People on the Bolt forum like to put slow charging in the list of positive attributes because one gets to smell the flowers. Hogwash, that means walking is superior to an EV because it's even slower. The point of vehicles is that they make travel faster.

I couldn't come out with a new airplane and tell the airlines they are gonna love it because it goes slower and has a fraction of the range of their current ones.

Owning a VW is great because it gives one the opportunity to learn how to disassemble their entire vehicle just to change spark plugs, and experience using non-standard tools.
