I really want one, but can’t stomach the price for what you get. Imma need something sub 10k… or something over 250 miles of range if it’s going to be 20k.

My EV gets between 280-300 miles on a charge and that works great. Any less will need to wait on more charging stations. Motorcyclists are known for wanting to ride highways over choosing interstates. Interstates have good charging infrastructure, highways… not so much.

Take a slice of white bread and a single slice of American cheese. Microwave just long enough to make the cheese slightly burn… the phase just after bubbly will get harder when it cools. Top with hot sauce or spicy ketchup… but not too much. If you can find it, there is an Indian curry spruced ketchup that is awesome.

This doesn’t make sense. Whether they sit out or vote 3rd party doesn’t matter. The strategic reason for GOP financiers supporting a 3rd party candidate is to draw votes away from their opponent. A sit-out or a vote for 3rd party achieves the same thing.

Encouraging people to sit out is just encouraging people to disengage from the entire process, which will enforce a trend that helps GOP candidates.

Why go out when you just have to come back home anyway. Save the trip.

I know you didn’t ask and probably don’t care, but free climbing and free soloing are different things. Free climbing uses a rope, but does not allow you to use artificial means to ascend, like pulling on gear you put on the wall. The gear is just there to arrest a fall.

Free soloing is where you climb without a rope. Free climbing uses a rope for safety, but upward mobility is hands and feet on wall. Aid climbing is where you climb by fixing gear to the wall and use it to ascend.

If you know what you’re doing, free climbing is pretty safe. Free soloing is not, but people do it successfully without their huge balls weighing them down.

As a side note, bouldering is also climbing without a rope, but you don’t climb high enough to make a fall fatal.

I did… that was the part about extracting value from a dying industry.

What the hell is with this article? This source doesn’t seem legitimate.

There are a lot of different structures for the contracts on charger installations. Sometimes the business owner pays the utilities, sometimes the charging company does. Sometimes the land is sold to the charging company, sometimes leased. Revenue from the charger is usually split between the charging company and the business based on the specifics of the contract responsibilities and costs, of which there is a lot of variability.

In short, some businesses pay more to have them installed and take more revenue from them. Some pay almost nothing and don’t get any revenue from the charger, other than increased traffic in their businesses. That doesn’t happen often, because most deals have the business owner paying the utilities for the chargers, so they recoup that plus profit. This article is saying that businesses are statistically showing benefits from having chargers nearby.

I know I look for chargers while I’m traveling and pick hotels, restaurants, and grocery stores that have EV chargers at them. As more EVs get on the road, this will probably be more of a factor businesses pay attention to.

Or when they can’t find enough workers and their crops die in the fields…

It also says the man is prone and restrained where the image clearly shows he is lying in a supine and restrained position.
