What I mean is that take a situation where someone was convicted of murder, but the reality is that was a false conviction and they were only guilty of manslaughter.

I shouldn't have used the "innocent person" phrasing because that's too low resolution for this discussion. You can't always neatly put a person into innocent/guilty categories.

The Bolt EV or the Leaf are just that.

I should have made it clear I was primarily talking about the DCFC situation in the US. Europe is better off since they're more population dense and their trips tend to be lower mileage.

Around town DCFC are irrelevant for most EV owners since they chsgre at some.

I don't know if that's an honest mistake or if you're just making up things since there are no rest stops with DCFC. It's against the law to do that on public rest stops.

As I stated, DCFC stations aren't available everywhere. They're often 100+ miles apart. So it doesn't matter if you can make it 185 miles between subsequent charge stops with a comfortable buffer if your only DCFC options are at 100 miles at 200 miles. You're stuck stopping at the 100 mile stop.

I'm not sure why you act as if all innocent people are completely innocent. It could be that they made mistakes and we're careless and that was a part of what led them to being falsely convicted.

Literally zero incentive is an extremely high bar and certainly incorrect.

I understand wanting to ensure there's a better incentive than currently exists, but giving them the death penalty for false death penalties is just a roundabout way of stopping the death penalty. So you may as well just do that directly.

That doesn't make it a bullshit test. It makes it a different test. IMO range is more important than efficiency.

And if DCFC stations were everywhere, then I'd agree that would be more of a factor. But given that a 15 mile difference in range can be the difference between 100 miles between stops and 200 miles between stops, I'd still say range is more important than charge speed.

Doubly so since the highest range EVs are also among the highest charging speed EVs.

It seems you didn't read the article at all.

There's certainly debate about that. And that's the exact discussion you want to see occuring as that's what teaches critical thinking.

So yes, you should be discussing the beneficial aspects of slavery.

Nah, if Google maps says it takes 10 hours, then it takes 10 hours with stops unless you're in the bottom 10% of traffic (such as if you're a truck towing a trailer).

If you're like most people going 5 to 10 mph over, then you'll beat Google maps time by about 15 minutes per 2 hours of drive time without stopping.

The difference is that we don't give the death penalty to somebody who accidentally does something wrong. And we especially don't do that in such a deliberate drawn out process.

That novella is a different version of one release 9 years ago. That represents the entirety of what he's written in the last decade.

I'd say your 10% is optimistic. It's been long enough that even if he does release it, I'd place the chances of it living up to the quality of the first 2 and giving a satisfying ending as low.
