People with consoles don’t also have computers?
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
I do like EV’s! I’m looking forward to the day when its practical for me to have one. I want less vehicle maintenance and I hope that the cost to charge it is less than it would cost to put gasoline in an equipment ice vehicle.
You’re right that technically you would probably be able to run an extension cord for charging. I’m suggesting that this is a pain in the ass solution. Your landlord is going to tell you that you’re not allowed to do that. The spots within reach of your house won’t always be open.
Within the next 10 years, hopefully more charging infrastructure will be built. Currently, its not available.
If I wanted inexpensive transportation that’s a pain in the ass, I’d just take the bus.

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.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
I never even implied anything like that. Don’t try to straw man me just because you’re saying silly things.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
Just in case you didnt read the article you linked. It says, “Research indicates that one of the main hurdles to EV adoption in the eyes of car buyers is adequate charging infrastructure.”
Hahaha
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
Haha. That’s great. That is some great infrastructure, which I hope is built soon, but which currently exists almost nowhere.

At this point, I’m just curious to know where you live that makes you think that sidewalks have power outlets.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
You’re close, but you’ve still missed. My opinion (and I’m agreeing with the guy at the top of this thread) is that charging an electric car is impractical for such a large proportion of the population that it is slowing down electric vehicle adoption and that mass adoption is unlikely to occur until this infrastructure issue has been addressed.
And also that I can’t charge my car on the street.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
My dude, the comment at the top of this thread is stating that there isn’t enough infrastructure to support most people buying electric cars. Sure, there’s some infrastructure for some people to be able to charge their cars but its a significant barrier for many and an impediment to widespread adoption, causing a decrease in demand. You know, relevant information regarding the original post.
“But some people can charge their cars” is irrelevant when so many can’t, because of infrastructure.
This word has lost all meaning for me. Infrastructure infrastructure
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
I’m loving your solutions. Do you know what they call covered garages and parking structures with outlets and even your big brain idea of sidewalks with electrical outlets in them? They call those things INFRASTRUCTURE.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
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.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
Haha. Alright, bud. All those people with the simple solution of parking in their living room will be so pleased.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
Let me summarize the stream of these comments for you, as if it was a conversation between two people. A)There isn’t infrastructure for electric cars, particularly for those living in an apartment. B)Level 1 charging is good enough for most people. A)How is a person who lives in an apartment going to use a level 1 charger? B)You just use a regular outlet. A)But I live in an apartment, there is no regular outlet near my car. B)(this is your comment BTW)Well then why did you bring up level 1 charging?
You’re a moron.
- Comment on Car dealers say they can’t sell EVs, tell Biden to slow their rollout 11 months ago:
OK, but if you live in an apartment, where do you plug in that level 1 charger?
- Comment on AI Camera's took over one small American Town. Now they are everywhere. 1 year ago:
Now just combine this with cell phone tracking data and we’ll know where everyone is, where they’re going, what theyre doing, what they think, how much money they have, their political opinions, what they’re buying, who they’re fucking. It’ll be a crime free utopia!
- Comment on Blood test findings by Toronto doctors can detect cancerous tumour before it develops 1 year ago:
I’m not saying this to be mean or intentionally offensive. I genuinely am having a hard time understanding the logic: If you know that you have a genetic mutation that will be fatal 100% of the time, and which generally only allows you to survive for a short period of time beyond your early reproductive years, why would you have kids? It seems selfish to me, that these people understand their condition but still choose to doom their progeny to the same fate.

You’re saying that there aren’t more deserts on the equator because its so wet? Well, that answers that! Everybody, pack it up!
