Toyota Inks Deal to Mass Produce EV Battery w 932m Range

Good luck charging at the vandalized charging stations…..

 

It's getting better. But, it's still nowhere near as good as traveling in an ICE vehicle.

 

I bought my Tesla when they had a promotion for “free supercharging for life”
(Of the car).
So I figured when it first opened superchargers and started charging .24-.40
Cents a KWhr, it wouldn’t be a huge deal. But now electricity is routinely .45 cents and it’s almost all “on-peak” usage, it’s kinda cool rolling up and taking $35 of energy for nada. Makes traveling between N and S California a matter of tire cost and wear and tear.

anyway; for 6 months I had to fight for charging at the absolute BUSIEST supercharger location IN THW WORLD (there’s a cool
Map in the Tesla repair shops that maps real time and usage trends at all SC locations world wide). Costco lot in Fountain Valley, CA- and second place is not even close. It’s awesome seeing wonderfully coiffed folks in sustainably manufactured clothing and sandals going apeshit over perceived slights and line jumping. Imagine Karens and Kens running into each other- heh. Saw bear spray being dual wielded once.

anyway- bring on electrics but let the market take away ICE or reposition it. It’s probably always going to be ICE for our place in Alaska. So cal commuting? Probably should make a much better mass transit infrastructure r/t enabling solo electric transport but who am I to argue?
