I could see this working well at rest stops along the interstate system, should make those self sufficient and put power into the grid instead feeding them power from it.

In heavily populated urban and suburban centers, I can see that this as well as roof top solar and smaller wind generation would work well.

If they can roll the electricity generated into the buildings themselves, add for a fee EV charging, and or have a power buy back and feed excess back into the local grid, that would negate some of the costs. Then if you are able to put in chargers and draw people who need to charge or would support businesses in such…

Eh, paradise has already been paved, might as well get something useful other than just parking out of what remains.

If it’s high enough for delivery vehicles, it shouldn’t necessarily block signage, plus if you’re talking larger strip malls, there’s going to be big signs off the road showing what is there and can always hang signs under them to show what is where, like a parking garage. If you’re in areas that are prone to snow.…

That was my thought too, though if you like to make dashboard chocolate chip cookies, it wouldn’t be the spot to park.

I thought that this was going to be a forward facing car seat until I actually read the whole headline..........thought a car seat like this for kids in that age group isn’t a bad idea...........

He’s starting to sound like a guy that would create this game in real life.

Look at what happened to Jack Kevorkian, though if this guy is a MAGA chud..........

Unless he can convince the Republicans to dust off trying to remove the “Must be a Natural Born Citizen” portion of the requirements to run for President, like they were floating when Arnold won the Governor’s race in CA, he’s not going to get far running for president.

Honestly, a minivan like the Grand Caravan my Dad now has is about the biggest I would need.  More than enough room on the inside for most things, but since it looks like we’re going back to the office instead of staying WFH, it’s not toooo huge for our little parking lot.

It would also mean requiring new cars to meet minimum pedestrian safety requirements and making it more inconvenient to own large vehicles such as full-size trucks and SUVs. Research cited by City Lab has already tied the increasing popularity of those vehicles to the rise in traffic deaths.

It’s happened here in Illinois too, last I heard there was a group of MAGAts that were sitting out and protesting there at one point.

I’m in Illinois, we have people here that want to try and kick Chicago and some of the more liberal urban/suburban areas out of Illinois and make them their own state. Keep in mind, the majority of state funding from taxes come from Chicago and the collar counties and when you look up who gets more back in state findin…

These women are probably at the stage in life where they start pressing their kids and the kids spouses for grand babies, no matter if these kids want them and can afford to have them or not.

Yup, if it was a small car or “cross over” the Bolt is my choice too, for the same reasons you mentioned, plus the easier ingress and egress of those is a plus for my elderly Father when we do things together and he doesn’t take his minivan.

If I had to run out and replace my 200 today, I’d be looking at a Chevy Bolt, at least the 1st gen, if not the 2nd gen. 260 mile rang, 200hp, 260+ ftlbs of torque, 6 second 0-60, yet as overweight as my Dad and I are, we both fit in the 1st gen comfortably and and it’s easier for him to get in and out of than my 200…

People cheat at the refund counters and PineWood Derby races in church and Boy Scouts, why would this be any different.

It could give added advertising space too, use cloth that has the sponsors names and logos printed on or woven into it.

Or hand out the bags pre-made, and ready to go the day of the event and anybody caught trying to sneak in their own gets disqualified and suspended for the next event on top of it.
