What electric vehicle gets 5 miles/1.2kWh?

Most of the small ones.

Why would you think a chat app has full write access to your disk?

Uhhhh no?

It’s just software…

I mean that’s the easy answer but:

1. Documenting and sharing the events is part of the protest
2. You may need it in an emergency.

Lots of them do that if you look.

Mostly old-ish technology, which is far more interesting because they had to be more innovative.

I’m not telling anyone what they need. I’m telling you what people usually need. Which is the topic of the conversation you started.

You explained how it’s doable when you drive 60 miles

Read it again. I said 60 miles the day after driving it to 0%. People don’t “usually” need this.

Average EV has 293 miles of range currently; even if you arrived home with 20% battery remaining and you only wanted to recharge to 80%,

Thats 176 miles of range. People don’t “usually” need that.

At least once every few months we take a day trip to the nearest “big” city, which is 105 miles away.

You said all of this already and I already replied to it.

I’m certainly not saying that a L2 charger is a must for…most people. But I would not agree that L1 is enough for most people.

🤔 Wat. Do you think there’s like a L1.5 or something?

Factually, it’s not either. Both are statements of opinion

It is not. Hence “factually”. We know for a fact how far people “usually” drive.

But if you’re like me, you might take a day trip over 100 miles away a handful of times per year. When that happens, I’d arrive home with very little battery left; am I supposed to have the ability to charge for 50 hours?

I just explained this in the comment you replied to.

They didn’t say anything about a sale…?

not that they’ve made enough changes to warrant getting extra money.

They’ve added video, which is a pretty substantial expense.

I think “might be overkill” would be a better title and position than “usually overkill.”

It factually is not.

most people would fall behind anytime they drive further than the average number of miles.

Assume you drive it all the way to empty, then park it and plug it back in at 7PM. Leave it for 12 hours until you leave again in the morning at 7AM. A typical small EV will charge at ~5MPH on a 110V, 1.2kW connection (faster on a 20A circuit). So 5MPH x 12 hours means you already have 60 miles of range again for the next day. And I would say that’s a pretty extreme scenario.

Realistically you would never drive it to 0% and you would probably leave it parked longer than 12 hours.

I use L1 almost exclusively, BTW.

Probably if you have a Hummer or something you might want something a bit faster.

It’s called edutainment

It’s much worse than that, he’s actively exploiting his position in government for personal gain. They have a gold Trump credit card that advertises that it’s “an official website of the US government”.

and since Advanced Protection blocks unknown apps, you won’t be able to side-load

Ah, there it is. It’s a good decision while they’re being repeatedly investigated for being anti-competitive.

Virtually everything he does hurts the people who voted for him (and all other Americans, and even non-Americans). His supporters are just too stupid to understand.

He has done and said much worse things. No one cares. The people buying these phones will never hear about it.
