3rd Gear:  The IRA Act was smart enough to spread the gains around mostly the south and midwest, Republican strongholds.  If there’s a change in party management, anything they do is going to result in lost jobs in those states.  That won’t look good.  In the mean time, Republican’s actions against EVs and renewable…

Hyundai/Kia just can’t catch a break. Looks like their incredibly rapid expansion is finally catching up with them

Many hotels already offer L2 charging, and more are adopting it every day.

HOWEVER.. you do mention something that concerns me. How to overnight charge?

Yep, with all that charging down time there is only one thing to do...

That 100% covers the morons.

Remember the condo collapse on Collins Ave. in the Miami area along the ocean? Week building codes for a long time, no one making sure that buildings are done as per spec and building code, self inspection with nothing real ever getting repaired, excessive loads for how things are built, salt based corrosion helped on…

Capitalism is a failed state.

But it was built in 2007... However, it is strange that is the second Batson-Cook garage to have collapsed in 2 years. “Batson-Cook is adamant that sole responsibility rests on the property owner.” - Sure, but you don’t seem to have a good record building them correctly.

How did it happen?

Deregulation is good.  🙄
