The Electric Vehicle Thread

It recently dawned upon me that many people in urban areas have to stick a cable out their windows to charge their cars and some cant even do that.

What an existence.

eh, the lampposts have charging points - keep up

Outside every house? And apartment?

I’ve never noticed a big change weather wise. But I’ll look out for it for this winter, and future winters until I can afford my Ford Raptor
