Like Robin Hood except without the philanthropy. this is how all big indiegogo campaigns work the little ones are "find some crap on alibaba, pretend you just invented it, and sell it at a 100% markup"

The subsidy was to help jump start the industry, and a LOT of automakers are planning to enter the BEV (or at least hybrid) markets in the next few years. ...Though it definitely sucks in the short term if you were planning to buy one.

looking at any public-access EV charging areas on a map and half of them will be hotels for their customers, and the other half are in somebody's driveway

TheDon01 posted:Our city owned power company is offering charging stations installed in your home for EVs. this only helps a bit and i would imagine anyway that most EV owners have at-home charging stations. if you live in an apartment, some states mandate that the apartment allow you to install whatever charging system you want, but at your own cost. even if you can't afford a charging station, all EVs can charge slowly via a normal wall outlet the issue is with longer trips, where the battery can simply get too low. normal cars have gas stations, teslas have charging stations, and every other EV has the owner desperately searching for a free wall outlet somewhere

EVs need a standard plug and you have to wonder how the convention of the gasoline nozzle/receptacle was agreed upon.

EVs need a standard plug and you have to wonder how the convention of the gasoline nozzle/receptacle was agreed upon. it wasn't much of a convention car companies basically just made holes to dump gas into, and a nozzle is kind of the obvious thing to do there. most of the complexity and standardized features used today weren't added till later. turns out putting liquid into a tank isn't that complicated that's not to say that old-timey gas pumps didn't have standardized features of their own, tho. for example, in the early less-regulated days, gas pumps used to have a clear glass chamber that the gas was pumped through so the customer could see the color of the gas (and therefore could guess whether or not the gas was being watered down)

It used to be, you work for me, and I keep all the profit. Now it's you go maybe find a job working for someone else, they extract the surplus value of your labor, and whatever pittance you get to take home, well, actually I get to take that. Forever.
