YES! Thank you. Everyone should already understand this concept. It’s no different from how you charge your phone. Where does your phone live each night? On the charger! When you wake up, how much charge does it have? 100%! So should your PHEV/EV. If I had a gas pump in my garage I would spend far less time refueling…

I’m pretty sure that plenty of campers with extremely dubious quality electrical systems have been plugged in to an NEMA 14-50 for weeks at a time in all kinds of shitty weather without killing everyone.

AC charging is handled on the car side of things anyway. Most those dedicated EV charging boxes are mot much more than outlets with a hose. The car decides when to pull power, not the plug. Your car doesn’t care if the plug is coming out of a dedicated box or a nema outlet.
This is not the case for DC fast charging…

Stolen Valor refers to the constitutionally protected, yet sincerely shitty, practice about lying about your military service. For example, people lying about serving, or people who did serve who lie about their type of service.

People lying to earn VA benefits aren’t committing acts of Stolen Valor. They’re…

Fuckin’ Hell... they already get the best parking spot at Mission Bar-B-Cue!

DeSantis is a liar and an unrepentant fascist. His Republican policies lead to atrocities.

C’mon Man, this is Gizmodo, not the BBC. 

There’s an outside chance it was John Oliver’s team... and I sincerely hope that it was.

It’s the perfect number! The largest number ever!

Dammit, someone beat me to it:
