I think automotive enthusiasts of all sorts have to come to the realization that in the not too distant future, gas vehicles will be relegated to low-volume niche products and used cars. As much as I love the V8 sitting in my garage, I feel a bit less guilty about its 15 mpg when 98% of my driving is at above 40 mpg.

1st gear: Wow, imagine that? I guess the IPO they wanted to do isn’t happening. I really wish it would have, wanted to short that one into the ground.

Europe loves exporting its externalities to the rest of the world. They can act like they are clean and green because they make the mess happen somewhere else. This policy is no different.

2nd gear: The US isn’t going to ban gas cars for a long time.

The whole point is that yes, all these conveniently located chargers exist, but if they don’t work when you need them to it makes for a bad experience.

I had the pleasure of borrowing a vehicle capable of handling 350kW of charging for a week or so last year. On the flip side of this, I pulled up to a charging station with different chargers (EVGo), and even I, a person who knew about charging speeds and the vehicle I was is, found it impossible to identify the…

This is what lots of people know, but nobody wants to say: electric car charging is not profitable. That’s why the charger companies, like EA, have little incentive to keep the chargers working. Unless a DC station is utilized 24/7, the incremental revenue from each station isn’t worth keeping it operating.

I wouldn’t go so far to call it a non-issue, but it’s definitely something they are in a class of their own with. Tesla’s willingness to burn cash on a charging network is why no amount of Elon’s... Elon-ness is going to kill them, or at least so long as the public network is so shoddy.

A new product roll-out designed to pad the bottom lines of the auto companies was half-baked and chock full of consumer hostile omissions? Crazy.

One thing I would really like to see is the cost-benefit of building and maintaining a public charger. That is, how profitable are they and/or how much charging is required on a daily basis before they are profitable. It seems that if a lot of these machines are broken and aren’t fixed, I’d have to imagine that…

It’s one licensing deal, Adam. What could it cost, $10?

Expecting owners will get this right is idiotic. They need to fix the core problems: Make all charging spots the same (“fast”). Use a higher build quality. Make certain they are operational with all EVs. Make them easy to use. Build more of them.

Does Netflix need money to keep it around? There’s always money in the banana stand.

Here is the thing about range anxiety, it isn’t really about range per se. Americans are aware, dimly admittedly, on some level that they are forgetful idiots. We all kinda know this, it is just a case of how willing we are to admit it, and if you run out of gas because your idiot brain forgot to fill up eight days in…

I bought an EV6 GT last weekend and I’ve yet to successfully use a public charger despite a handful of attempts.  Luckily we have a home charger that we installed last year when my wife bought her Ioniq 5.  On two separate occasions, I was unsuccessful in getting the Electrify America chargers at our local Walmart to…

Do we need a second Joker movie? Joker is a film that critics ten years from now will look back and wonder, “what the hell did I ever see in this?”

Also it is easier to hide the cost of the batterie behind the cost of luxury.

Ram (ICE): Farmer

Most of these felt aggressively mid. There’s just too much “we gotta make a really cool SB ad” try hard vibe going on.

Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.
