If truly thought the future was electric and cared about its ID.* customers, it would fix the horribly broken, unreliable network as a first step. Also, get rid of free charging.

An Electrify America price hike appears to impose the biggest upcharge (by percentage) on drivers who charge regularly and have the Pass+ membership.

Ford CEO said: “We didn’t know that our wiring harness for Mach-E was 1.6 kilometers longer than it needed to be. We didn’t know it’s 70 lbs heavier & that that’s [cost an extra] $300 a battery; “We didn’t know that we underinvested in braking technology"

Hey we need more Superchargers along the 401 in the GTA 🇨🇦 The lineups are getting crazy... This was taken by my brother just after 4pm at the Mississauga Supercharger Apparently 20 vehicles deep waiting for a stall 😥 #Tesla #supercharger

The easiest way for automakers to ensure their vehicles have a functional charging network is to invest directly in , take charge of the network, improve reliability, and coverage.

$349 per month to lease an electric car with plenty of range and a functioning charging network! Yeah baby!

YouTube is amazing! I hadn't welded in a while so I looked up what to look for in a good MIG weld and a few videos provided a nice refresher. All the information in the world is available on the internet. What do you want to learn today?

They said we needed LNG export facilities because of the EU gas crisis. That crisis is over ... so now we're just locking in multi-decade sources of new greenhouse gases for no f'ing reason at all. (Excellent viz from .)

I personally wouldn't open up the supercharging network to other EVs. It's the cost of entry into the market. Figure out how to charge your own customer vehicles. It's not rocket science but it would be nice having more than one company building out the network.

As we continue our storm damage assessments, our law enforcement officers are encountering members of the public who disregard the closed signs & barricades. Hundreds of citations have been issued – we’d much prefer visitors steer clear of these areas for their own safety.

Earlier this month, Tucker Carlson claimed that offshore wind farms are killing whales.
The only problem? Ocean scientists say there's zero evidence for this claim.
For his segment, Carlson also chose to interview someone being bankrolled by the fossil fuel industry.

I see 's chief scientist Gill Pratt everywhere with his seemingly 'sober' claim that scarce lithium should be used in small batteries for hybrid cars (that Toyota is market leader in of course).
He's calling out "EV-only extremists".
And it's such utter bollox.

I just had i3 serviced by the dealer (2 yearly). Nicely cleaned, very pleasant, and returned to me with ... 26 km range remaining. They just don't get it - had #EV o/n (waiting for tyres) - couldn't be bothered charging it o/n. Hopeless!

Same exact thing happened to my @chevrolet bolt at an @ElectrifyAm charger in Chipley Florida. Plugged in, charged normal for 15 min. Then customers coming n2 Walmart complained of sparking and smoke from grey charging station and “pop” went out dispenser.

Electrify America is a complete dumpster fire. The only hope there is for mass adoption of EV’s today is by either buying a Tesla or automakers adopting the North American charging standard so they can use superchargers.

Volvo C40 out here modeling it’s wheels, winning the award for best backup cam. But the Electrify America station said 150kW charging rate, yet the text I got after said it peaked at 57kW. Anyone know why that would be so much lower? Am I reading wrong?

Unless someone can prove to me otherwise, I’m convinced @ElectrifyAm intends to slow the adoption of electric vehicles rather than accelerating/supporting it.

If had better reliability and security on its public facing, internet connected charging stations than my kids do on their laptops, I could almost take them seriously.
As it is, they can screw off until they figure out how to properly configure Windows etc etc. FFS.
