Also at restaurants and malls. There are already a lot of these spaces at random businesses and parking areas here in NE - I wonder if there’s a good way to find them? That’s what’s really needed - an app that knows where all the charging stations are and will tell you if they are in use.

“These cars will never replace horses! Horses can eat the grass on the side of the road, and if you want cars to be as reliable as horses you’d need thousands of stations to fill them up! It will never happen!”

There’s always a lot of criticism down here in the comments where everyone is an expert in the electric car field, but never any solutions.

Install rapid chargers at parking lots at gas stations and especially service stations with cafeterias/fast food places. Done.

Wow is this a dumb take. You can charge your EV at home. You can’t fill up your gas car at home.

According to Wikipedia the first purpose built gas station in America was built in 1905, the second in 1907. That’s several years after the car itself started to become popular.

Never underestimate the “YEAH BUT MY COMMUTE IS 600 MILES A DAY ABOLISH EV’S USED PANTHERS ARE THE ONLY SOLUTION”

This isn’t a switch of everyone is gas one day and everyone is electric the next day. You can start small and scale as demand does.

The rapid charging infrastructure is a legitimate problem that would prevent EVs from reaching 50%+ penetration of the US Market. But they’re a red herring for the near future, since 95%+ of cars are driven well within the typical EV’s range on a daily basis, and as the article notes, many folks can charge at home…

What the hell are license plate covers for?

even though The Washington Post reports the couple are more interested in the Massachusetts Avenue Heights neighborhood, which is not a real neighborhood.

no I get paid to read and respond to your rude comments

2016 and on has done nothing but reinforce the notion that Accountability is a dying—if not already dead—concept.*

Look, the suicide does not care that s/he is on camera. S/he’s dead.

Accountability is alive and well and quite painful, just for us plebes normal folks.

Having the helmet destroyed early on made perfect sense for the story. It showed just how much Snoke got to him in that scene, setting up how Snoke uses him as bait. It wouldn’t have made sense had he not been so ‘broken’.

It makes the resistance feel like an actual resistance now, as opposed to rebel wannabes. It also makes Leia feel like a very important leader and the rock for the whole resistance. The fact that their whole plan rested on Luke willingly coming out of retirement makes them seem so foolish as well, because they don’t…

No he doesn’t, but if he isn’t honestly, what’s the alternative?

Think about the implication if she actually is a Skywalker or a Solo; so Han, Leia, Luke or any combination of those three just abandoned her on a backwater, and left her for dead and then ALL pretended like they had no idea who the fuck she was? That…

She said she knew the truth all along. Did you forget that part?
