And you only lost 38 miles to speed, relative to your puttering average, not 66. 28 miles remaining is pretty good, not a close call.

After almost a year, I don’t notice the seat issue at all anymore. Probably my enormous mass has pummeled it into submission.

Oops, my bad, production is set for Europe and Japan, not North America.

Oh yeah, these Honda EVs are supposed to be available by 2020. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_EV_Concept https://www.caranddriver.com/news/honda-urban-ev-concept-photos-and-info-news

If no changes to the tax credits, will GM discount to stay competitive?

I hope Kia and Hyundai ramp up availability too. Would be cool if Renault would sell here, Tesla style, since they haven’t had dealerships for decades now.

My company got a free ChargePoint L2 using a DOE grant, and the deal was, they paid for install and any repairs (none so far, L2 is more reliable than QC), but also had to agree to a one year contract with ChargePoint at $300/month for monitoring, fee collection and remittances, and data...

The trouble with ChargePoint is that they need to make money, and their model is a hard sell. Hosts might get a free DCFC because ChargePoint can arrange for grant money, but installation is on the host, and pricey, with a need for 480 volts. (Although there are 24 kW units that can run on 240...

I wonder how the dealerships will react to OTAs as they would normally get paid under warranty for updates.
