Ford CEO Jim Farley recently took a relatively short road trip from Palo Alto, CA to Las Vegas, NV in one of his company's own electric vehicles in order to assess the experience his customers were having with the product. Farley's assessment was refreshingly honest, for the CEO of a company that has invested so heavily in the production of electric vehicles.

Even though the bulk of the trip took place in California, which has invested more heavily in electric vehicle infrastructure than any other state in the country by far, Farley admitted that the experience of finding good charging stations — and the delays caused by bad ones — were a major source of delay and hassle for customers.
