Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout

  This is just not a practical day-to-day solution. Most people don’t have a parking spot right outside their window that they can reliably use for charging. There is often a sidewalk that the cord would have to cross, creating the opportunity for someone to trip and sue you. There is often landscaping between buildings and parking, creating the opportunity for the landscapers to accidentally run over your cord with their lawnmower. Some asshole is going to walk by and unplug your car and then you may be late to work.

  Sure, you could it, but it’s not a practical solution.

    I mean, sure, when you dont want to do it, its easy to really cook up a convuluted scenario to justify not doing it.

      I’m going to borrow a picture that somebody else posted. www.rent.com/blog/…/apartment_building.jpg

      Do you think its practical for extension cords to run from that building to most of the parking spots? It would be a spiderweb of a tangled mess.

        Oh god, the horror of 6 cords. You’re right, the world cant support such madness.
