Use a locker-style coin operated lock - Insert a quarter (or even just a penny as a fuck you) to unlock the charging plug. Then you're charging for the use of the EVSE, and you don't have to provide anything to ICEs. On Sun, 10 Jul 2022 at 01:27, EV List Lackey via EV wrote: > On 9 Jul 2022 at 2

I, for one, applaud Elon Musk's business savvy - He came in at the right time to purchase PayPal, Tesla and SpaceX, and those companies managed to insulate themselves from him with layers of middle management so his bad ideas didn't cause too many problems for them. Elon didn't make Tesla, after a

GM, like every other car maker in North America, are shutting down production of every small car they had.

I wonder if you could take hub motors and mount them inboard, so instead of a differential you'd have back-to-back "hub"motors connected to driveshafts. So you don't have the unsprung weight of hub motors, but you do get the advantages of electronically controllable torque per wheel. On Sun, 16 Ju
