Where are you? If you're US based you are demonstrably incorrect and I have over 350,000 EV miles to prove it.
This is my 110k mile Audi EV sitting on pikes peak. Its also towed a motorcycle from key west to central nc 5 years ago without issues using public charging networks. All electric.
To everyone sweating gas prices, a reminder: we could have electrified the grid, gotten off fossil fuels, and replaced all vehicles with EVs for the same cost as the Iraq war.
The current president lost in court, NEVI is back to being fully funded. But its scope was largely rapid charging for travel more than multifamily dwelling.

I think you would embrace the tech if you better understood it. I'd be willing to share knowledge about it if you're open to it.
And you need only a common household 120v outlet to make our oldest EV work, dead to full in at most 12 hours on that. Something like the Volt plug in hybrid with 35-40 mikes electric range would charge in 8 on said outlet.
I'm from Memphis. I know old homes with poor power. EV still works there.
FIND "Electric car drivers"
REPLACE "Folks who saw this coming and took preventative action"
a bit more accurate, no?
That is why I'm asking. Having lived 10 years of hurricanes and extreme weather events with an EV the longest trip needed to take was 65mi one way to fetch a cat left unattended at a friends home. Generally we don't go *anywhere.*
Fuel prices impact my food costs, yes.
Many of us end up becoming taxis for our friends who struggle to make ends meet. Fuel pipeline crisis (east coast) 2021 comes to mind... We have been here before.
And during wide spread power failures, where exactly do you plan to be driving anyway?
Will drive 40mi to a rapid charger with power, top vehicle off, being it home to power my house of the car's big battery.
Yes we have done this with a kia.
Can also be charged from a generator of any fuel source. Gas vehicles are no where near as flexible on fueling options.
3 of the 5 EVs my household depends on cost $10k or less (used). One of those cheaper ones has been in use nearly 10 years now (paid $7600 for it).
Locust invasions have absolutely brrn a global thing since at least 2019. Here's one from thw past cpuple of weeks: euroweeklynews.com/2026/02/26/p...
You'd think with fuel prices skyrocketing folks would slow the hell down, but this was the third such high speed **very late** red light runner I'd witnessed yesterday.
Never been a problem with a real, established, brand. Only EV startups.
Tale of two bumpers. Hyundai Ioniq EV Base (rare bumper as most had radar bumper) part arrived in 2 days, cracked, replacement in 24 hours no damage. Tesla 3? 4 month wait.
I have a hard rule. Minimum two competing franchises/service centers within 20mi or no sale.
I have *9* dealers to source parts and service from within 40mi of my house for my current primary car.
I have owned 2 startup brands and I'll never do that again.
Ehhh the matte/frozen finished are utter pains to maintain, so maybe only be jelly of the glossy colors.
That does feel like something @wired.com would run.
Probably because the chargers don't exist in "the wild" right now.
You had me at Ubuntu, honestly. I'd have settled for Debian too.
Thanks!
Sooo there'd the Fedora Asahi remix. What else?
I won't own a vehicle without a minimum of 3 competing service centers within a half hours drive. Too burned by lack of competition and oversubscription.
Who said anything about my job?
This is entirely for home based projects.
For now on I'll run all my syntax questions to you instead. I hope you're fluent in JSON and YAML formatting!
Even less secure and unsupported on VWAG vehicles as they, like iPhones, use dynamic MACs to prevent spoofing (which is better than Lucid and BYD, both have reused MACs).
Ohh, that's a hard NO from me. And what crappy corner to cut.
It's gravy till the station clock gets out of sync, or the certificates that enable ISO15118 "Plug&Charge" expire.
I'll take tapping an RFID or credit card, thanks.
If you maintain them, they usually do. I've lost count of 300k mile Volvos, Benzes, and Chevy's I've seen.
As for EVs, Our friend has 240k on a first-year (2011) Volt, different friend has nearly 200k miles on the *4 year old replacement battery* in his 2017 Bolt EV (not a typo).
Noooo the pedestal mirrors mean its a 98-01, which should also have the swivel emblem on the hatch for manual unlocking with the key.

Each week, four decorated warriors compete.
Hostile takeovers. Ceremonial side-eyes. And at least one betrayal before the ad.

Pose harder.
Given they've been trying since 2006, I hope something comes out of the effort.
