Car charger went offline last night, apparently the RCBO switched off at some stage over the last 2 weeks…
Woke up this morning to 30% battery, knowing I needed to use the car today.
Couldn’t find a free fast charger on my route either. I was sweating with range anxiety 😅

“Ready to head out?”
Well I won’t be going too far, as I forgot to charge the car 😅
We stumbled accidentally upon these facts many years ago by driving our Old EV from Seattle to Spokane (300 mi) in the summer :blobcatgoogly:
The Cascade mountain range stands between these cities, so we had to use consecutive DC chargers to defeat Gravity. We quickly learned that car batteries don't like high-power charging in hot weather. But we made it 💪 .. and learned a lot in the process. This trip should be even more feasible now with modern batteries.

I'm sending big thank you vibes to the random woman at the EV charging station who, upon seeing us struggling to charge our car, offered to switch chargers with us. And then, as our problems continued, used her app to connect our car (and consequently paid our charge). She told us not to worry and pay it forward.

So, I learned about the Vanguard Sebring Citicar a while ago. And Electric car built between 1974 and 1977. Its about the size of a modern Smart Car and could max out at 50 MPH / 80 KPH.
I don't know what would be needed to update it to handle Texas Interstate driving, but it be interesting.
Even then, a small EV to drive around Granbury wouldn't be so bad really.
Lots of work though.
Move over Felon Fusk (elon musk). Olinia will be the new Tesla. #evcar #supercarblondie

We live in the future! It won't be long before you can call the car and have it pick you up wherever you are.
BREAKING: The latest Tesla Model 3 Long Range is now officially eligible for the full $7,500 Federal EV credit in the US, as confirmed by Tesla.

@Rjdlandscapes I guess the takeaway I got from the full article (not just the excerpts I posted) is that the batteries aren't made to be repaired -- which is ridiculous, but not surprising. I had a friend who gave up her #EVCar because the #battery replacement was more than the value of the car. That's just bad and wrong. Also, #Lithium, #Cobalt and the like need to be recycled if the battery is no longer repairable. Sometimes batteries stop holding charges. It's something we see with household rechargeable batteries, and it's a design flaw that needs to be fixed. As for the dangers of #LithiumBatteries, there have been issues with exploding cars and #ebikes -- just being in storage! So, yes, proper training is required -- just like working on electrical systems or plumbing -- not for the untrained.
