Usually no, since L2 basically uses the same connection as an electric dryer.

Unlikely, unless you want L3 charging capability at home. L2 charging (208-240 volts, 40 amps) is probably more than enough for charging at home; which would be overnight charging most of the time. Level 2 will give you about 32 miles of range per hour of charge.

I can’t believe I changed jobs from a 30 mile drive each way to a 20 minute WALK this February. Legitimate dreading the universe giving me a market correction for that precluding this nonsense. 

A genuinely witty headline--take a bow.

Loud pipes do not, in fact, save lives.

The increase in EV research is a good thing for all. The people who can afford them may trade in decent used cars that would help to bring used inventory back to normal levels. The purchased EV’s will reduce demand for gasoline. Most of our electricity is still generated through burning hydrocarbon but we have far…

Not on this site they dont. They are marathon drivers. They have their gas piss and shit down to 4 minutes total and if you cant duplicate it with EVs they will fail. 

Gotham City is fictional. You know that, right?

How is that different than any shopping mall or restaurant? Just wait for them to come back to the car. I can understand the underlying thought, but I think the difference in the logistics of robbery aren’t so good - particularly given that all those cars have multiple cameras that can be programmed to record their…

I just got a Polestar 2 Dual Motor with the Performance Pack last week and I gotta say that it’s pretty amazing. It’s incredibly quick, the interior is beautiful, it has an actual instrument cluster instead of just relying on the center stack, and it’s just a damn good looking car. Defs see one in person before you…

You missed a couple big issues, IMO:

That's the responsible choice. 

Virtual sales to Jalop’s imagnary fleet perhaps, but station wagons went out of style last millennium.

Two years. Average gasoline expenditure in the United States is $3,000.

Another problem. Badge snobs aren’t going to pay 100k for a Chinese EV. Problem with first Polestar

With the Federal tax credit, this is actually cheaper than a base S60. In some states, the added tax credits mean it’s even less. Herein MA it’s $10,000 total, which makes this $4000 less than an S60 ($40k).

Calm down, Lewis Hamilton. 7 seconds is more than fine to get around town and life. You have been red pilled by the horsepower wars.

I would argue that with electric drive, it doesn’t feel slow, at least not around town. My brother has a Bolt, and it’s slower than this, but in typical city driving it feels quick. However, I will completely agree with you that if you aren’t going to offer (and market) the “cake and eat it to” point, it needs to be…

The problem is that it isn’t actually a real free market economy when it comes to oil. If I decided, “damn oil is expensive” and put a well in my backyard and a refinery in my garage, bad things would happen to me.

That’s a lot of words to say “oil companies love profit.”
