It cost me a few hundred dollars to have an electrician install a 220V outlet for EV charging on the outside of my garage.  Costs will be similar for the large majority of homeowners, which again is the large majority of Americans.

I mean technically a citation is never needed, though it’s certainly helpful if you want to be believed when you make an absurd claim. Otherwise people are likely to conclude you’re making stuff up and spreading FUD.

[citation needed]

Were you not charging at home or do you do frequent road trips? Because those are the only two scenarios where the “charging infrastructure” is an actual limitation.

The linked article does answer a few questions I had initially, but something still isn’t right.

This seems incredible, if I were the guy I’d raise the issue with my state representative.

I’m not sure that’s a justifiable criticism either, the only EVs that ever sold in significant numbers that have reached the 10 year mark are the Leaf and the Model S.

EVs have extremely low maintenance costs.

Not the first time I’ve heard about a Turo renter getting a huge bill, though the fact that this is almost certainly a scam is a new twist.

Ordered a 2013 Audi A3 TDI in 2012, wanted something that got good mileage due to my then long (~25 miles each way) commute and something that would last a long time.

Toyota: Best we can do is a Hydrogen powered car that isn’t even practical to own in Califorrnia.

I’m not saying they need to _make_ the converters cheaper only that they should be forced to _sell_ them cheaper.

I’ve been thinking one way to reduce converter theft in new cars at least is to require automakers to sell replacement converters for reasonable prices, as cheaply as possible as long as it’s not less than the “scrap” value of a stolen cat.

Thank you for properly calling it a Neon despite Dodge’s pathetic attempts to pretend it was anything but.

So You’re arguing that the same police that currently aren’t enforcing existing traffic laws like failure to yield to pedestrians will start enforcing new laws against turning right on red regardless of if there are any pedestrians in sight?

I would hope that failure to yield to pedestrians is already a ticketable offense.

Strawman harder

This is a BS argument cops use for why they don’t want to do their jobs.

I mean we could start by enforcing the laws we already have, ticket people who turn into an intersection when there’s a pedestrian in the crosswalk. And for that matter ticket people who blatantly run red lights and stop signs, or who drive on the shoulder, or who drive in the center median, or who use the crosswalk…

People who drive dangerously already ignore traffic laws.  Imposing new laws won’t improve safety in the slightest.
