I do like EV’s! I’m looking forward to the day when its practical for me to have one. I want less vehicle maintenance and I hope that the cost to charge it is less than it would cost to put gasoline in an equivalent ice vehicle.

You’re right that technically you would probably be able to run an extension cord for charging. I’m suggesting that this is a pain in the ass solution. Your landlord is going to tell you that you’re not allowed to do that. The spots within reach of your house won’t always be open.

Within the next 10 years, hopefully more charging infrastructure will be built. Currently, its not available.

If I wanted inexpensive transportation that’s a pain in the ass, I’d just take the bus.

I’m going to borrow a picture that somebody else posted. https://www.rent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/apartment_building.jpg

Do you think its practical for extension cords to run from that building to most of the parking spots? It would be a spiderweb of a tangled mess.

I never even implied anything like that. Don’t try to straw man me just because you’re saying silly things.

Just in case you didnt read the article you linked. It says, “Research indicates that one of the main hurdles to EV adoption in the eyes of car buyers is adequate charging infrastructure.”

Hahaha

Haha. That’s great. That is some great infrastructure, which I hope is built soon, but which currently exists almost nowhere.

At this point, I’m just curious to know where you live that makes you think that sidewalks have power outlets.

You’re close, but you’ve still missed. My opinion (and I’m agreeing with the guy at the top of this thread) is that charging an electric car is impractical for such a large proportion of the population that it is slowing down electric vehicle adoption and that mass adoption is unlikely to occur until this infrastructure issue has been addressed.

And also that I can’t charge my car on the street.

My dude, the comment at the top of this thread is stating that there isn’t enough infrastructure to support most people buying electric cars. Sure, there’s some infrastructure for some people to be able to charge their cars but its a significant barrier for many and an impediment to widespread adoption, causing a decrease in demand. You know, relevant information regarding the original post.

“But some people can charge their cars” is irrelevant when so many can’t, because of infrastructure.

This word has lost all meaning for me. Infrastructure infrastructure

I’m loving your solutions. Do you know what they call covered garages and parking structures with outlets and even your big brain idea of sidewalks with electrical outlets in them? They call those things INFRASTRUCTURE.

This is just not a practical day-to-day solution. Most people don’t have a parking spot right outside their window that they can reliably use for charging. There is often a sidewalk that the cord would have to cross, creating the opportunity for someone to trip and sue you. There is often landscaping between buildings and parking, creating the opportunity for the landscapers to accidentally run over your cord with their lawnmower. Some asshole is going to walk by and unplug your car and then you may be late to work.

Sure, you could it, but it’s not a practical solution.

Haha. Alright, bud. All those people with the simple solution of parking in their living room will be so pleased.

Let me summarize the stream of these comments for you, as if it was a conversation between two people.

A)There isn’t infrastructure for electric cars, particularly for those living in an apartment.

B)Level 1 charging is good enough for most people.

A)How is a person who lives in an apartment going to use a level 1 charger?

B)You just use a regular outlet.

A)But I live in an apartment, there is no regular outlet near my car.

B)(this is your comment BTW)Well then why did you bring up level 1 charging?

You’re a moron.

OK, but if you live in an apartment, where do you plug in that level 1 charger?

How are you going to leave when you’re in jail?

It’s actually an irrational number, but for most purposes 100.4159F is a perfectly reasonable approximation.

I think that people arrive at atheism and agnosticism from various directions but I don’t think its something that people are commonly indoctrinated with. That being the case, there are few hymns or anthems that need to be repeated, to reinforce the message.

However, this might be what you’re asking for https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VpxikuHHG2Q&pp=ygUXYmFkIHJlbGlnaW9uIHRoZSBhbnN3ZXI%3D

Bad Religion, “the answer.”

The lyrics, “if you’ve got enough naievity and you’ve got conviction, then the answer is perfect for you,” always seemed to resonate with me. I interpret them to refer to people who are born into a difficult to comprehend universe, full of far more questions than answers, who latch on to the comforting fairy tales offered by religion with great enthusiasm. I think the song is about how nobody really can comprehend the great questions of life and purpose, but people try to, and sometimes their ideas become religions. I think the song is about people who don’t think for themselves, but who latch onto what they’re told. Its a warning not to be comforted by explanations and opinions of others. Consensus is not truth.

It’s not complicated. Mpge allows you to compare energy efficiency vs internal combustion cars. They also provide kWh/100 mi, which allows you to calculate actual cost of operation, depending on how much you pay for a kWh.
