You may have encountered ads about 'electrified' cars. Most people hear that name as synonymous with 'electric' cars, but it's actually a broader category.

Non-Tesla EVs rely on a variety of third-party charging networks, too many of which are not properly maintained or reliable. It shouldn't be that high a bar for EV charging to be at least as easy and pleasant as your local gas station, but that's still a work in progress.
