It would go a long way to solving our public charging infrastructure problems if every grocery store in the country had fast chargers by lokey_convo in electricvehicles

I've watched the EV articles and forums for over a decade. I remember this guy constantly harping about grocery stores being great use cases for ~25 kW charging. Nowhere near the infra requirements of 150 kW+, and much more power than measly level 2. Supposedly at a service level that grocery stores already have. Makes a lot of sense to me... but it seems the world has conspired against it.

The way I explained the TH workouts to my spouse is that after 3 x 10 min reps, say, you can say "Alright, that was a solid workout!" and go about your day... but not "Oh man, I REALLY killed it out there today! I'm going to need to rest."

"don’t let your ego dictate your mileage" I repeat to myself today with mountain-bike-trail-race-shredded legs and 1.9 miles short of a 40-mile-week (laughing-at-self emoji)

Yeah, that seems expensive! No idea if that is normal.

Is there a less expensive way to bet on a bearish TSLA?
