That time we charged into a random outlet in the middle of nowhere?
We were very stressed. We learned the hard way that neither fast chargers not batteries work well in the heat. But once we crossed the mental hurdle of "we need to charge at a charger" things got a bit easier.
After running the extension cord, we sat at a picnic bench and watched the desert sunset. It was slow. And beautiful.
We never did that again. But I learned that the possibility is out there.

While having a conversation with @hornblower I realized something about charging electric cars [in the US].
Fast chargers make a profit not by selling energy, but by selling time. I can plug an electric car into any outlet. We plugged our car once into a building outlet in the middle of nowhere using an extension cord. It was fine. But it takes a Long Time, and in the current word, time is expensive. If you are pressed for time, you'll pay outrageous fees for the electricity.

These chargers are not in Seattle, but I thought I'd post a picture in this thread because they are a bit funny. Located by a car wash with color-changing lights, plus the lights of the charger itself, I just need some music to make it a full party!
Going to a gas station to use a British Petroleum-owned tower to charge the electric cas feels a bit yucky, but we are out and about and we wanted to test a new charger in an area sparse in charging locations. It worked!

GM unveils new Chevy Bolt - same package, new battery, low $29k price | Electrek
I like, now just offer a panel version like the HHR had, and I'll be at the dealer the first day they come out.

We'll be driving more often to Seattle this fall, so I thought about taking pictures of the chargers.
This is/was a DC fast charger from EVgo with two connectors: one for cars with CCS, one for cars with CHAdeMO (for the Nissan Leaf). Both are gone.
According to the reviews in PlugShare, it seems the charger got it's cables cut back in May. Companies used to be prompt in repairing the chargers, but now they seem to have given up on it. Or are they looking for a new strategy?
The MG IM5 isn't a bad looking car, but I still think the BYD Seal is the best looking electric sedan.
We're in Seattle, the Wild West* of electric car chargers, witnessing the evolution of charging stations in real time. Chargers with the biggest cables are almost extinct, some neighborhoods have no CHAdeMOs left. The Level 2 chargers that deploy from 12ft in the air seem to be surviving well, and today we saw a new feature: chargers with armored-plate cables.
*cables get cut to supposedly steal the copper.
Kostenlose eVignete für e-Autos in CZ
Wenn man mit dem Auto nach CZ fährt, braucht man eine eVignete.
Diesel/Benzin kostet voll, Biomethan & Erdgas weniger als die Hälfte, Plug-In Hybrid weniger als ¼ des Preises.
Und Wasserstoff- & e-Autos zahlen gar nichts.
Wow. Einfach nur wow.

Gathering info on what year of secondhand Leaf to buy. Apparently there's a glut here in NZ. How much is reasonable to spend on one?
Hope we get one soon. Hate that I'm reliant on driving to get so many places, but i am
South Korean automaker Hyundai has introduced the Ioniq Concept Three, a compact electric vehicle (EV) designed specifically for urban mobility in European cities. This vehicle arrives at a time when demand for smaller EVs is rising due to urbanisation, sustainability regulations, and the need for space-efficient transport solutions. #ArchUp #automotivedesign #electriccar #hyundai #UrbanMobility

The #Vulpibus folks are now just past the halfway point of their journey, which is only possible thanks to your #fedihelp #mutualaid!
But to get all the way there #gtfomystate, hundreds of dollars are still needed for the cost of fuel and food in this capitalist nightmare, and a few hundred more for preventing their car from being towed away for non payment of loans and insurance.
Let's call the goal $1000 over this next few days. This will help with a couple of maintenance things too hopefully.
Progress was made this last few days on the #electrical breaker box, on sewing of a lovely cloak for Inara, and on the gene editing system ( https://gitlab.vulpinedesigns.com and be sure to familiarise yourself with Qt Creator if you want to see the concepts being laid out first paw).
You are all amazing people living in this same messed up world as us. You know what you can and cannot manage to do. Be strong. Be loved. Receive the tolerance you give.

#Freestuff along the route always appreciated and considered.
One thing currently on the to get list is a clothes washing machine, preferably front load as a single or small unit sized combo machine with tumble dryer.
Another is a countertop sized dishwasher.
And a three quarters height, narrow width fridge-freezer.
If you have any of these spare in IA, NE or CO in working or easy-repair condition, please let us know.

When the bus reaches its destination, a commune is to be established with its own off grid systems and food growing. The lab is to be expanded. We intend to help people escape and learn and transform into what they truly want to be.
When I say we, I mean a broad loose-knit network of agents across the world who are a decentralised, unstoppable force for good. The Vulpibus is a catalyst and a tool, the people know how to use it.
Atha is to me a being with great potential focussing on survival when hir real impact should be felt from hir work on gene editing tools for freedom of form.
I fight for hir and everyone to get a fair chance at making that happen. I fight with nice words, sharp words and blunt words, and if needed I will fight with weapons.
A good Nazi is one remembered in history as the discarded husk of our disgraceful mistakes gone by, long since eroded to dust. That starts not just with brute force, but by confounding their efforts in sheer fucking spite.
