  • This is bad for us too, because cars were already being developed with NACS since CCS “lost the war” in the US. What kind of uptake will those cars have with a network that has completely stopped growing because manbaby decided to take his toys and go home?

    The auto manufacturers will blame everything but the fact that most EVs are overpriced and overcomplicated to compensate for them being ultra-reliable and no longer in need of constant maintenance. This country already killed EVs once, don’t put it past capitalism to try a second time.



  • FWIW I have the Voyager PWA installed on my phone and despite daily messages that support ended two days ago, I can still browse Lemmy. I don’t plan on updating, in case that is what finally breaks it.

    edit: as of March 22, Voyager stopped showing me content on any server with 18.x software, including my login credentials, which I can only assume means it is useless for browsing Lemmy. Edited with Memmy on iOS.








  • I am with you! I first dipped my toe into the EV pool in 2020 when gas was at a modern era low, so EVs weren’t exactly flying off dealer lots. I only drove my ICE to keep the gas from going bad. Ended up selling the ICE and buying a second EV with a bigger battery and longer range. I’ve taken it on four road trips since March, and people don’t know what to think when I tell them I pay less for a full charge than most people do a single gallon of gas.

    I think the best way to shift the apprehension is that home charging is the future, and you really only need to worry about infrastructure when you are going out of town. It’s a lot easier to put chargers on lampposts than it is to put gas stations every few miles, but oil lobbyists are making sure everyone is absolutely terrified of electrification.
