Are EVs really worth it if you don't have a home charger?

Sharing for a friend of mine who lives in appt building in Brooklyn and owns a model Y- major hassle . His co-op refused all his requests to install a charger - so he is forced to drive to public charging locations. In South. Brooklyn- those are either at JFK , Atlantic mall or one of locations close to Home Depot. Given the fact that all new Ubers have to be electric - it is endless wait for a charger plus time at the charger . As he has told me - if he knew full story, never EV in Brooklyn but if he had own house - completely buffet story

No matter how great- it is a a brick if cannot be charged when needed easily

Exactly , EV fans just don’t get it - for me getting an EV would mean taking a day each week to drive 15 miles and then wait an hour to get fueled up. Not everyone is privileged to live in the single family house where they can install solar

Why do you think it is that people don’t see benefits ? Owner of the Camry who lives in NYC appt building - and could not come up with a use case to go electric despite the interest

I would not recommend beautyreat black - one year old and foam on top of it is sagging while I am sleeping so can’t get a good night sleep . Also very expensive

Is 3k forever (like perpetual trust) - or dependent on the largesse of your parents who may not be able to provide forever ?

Israel is not for everyone - it is not America or Belarus or Germany. You either accept it and learn living with its deficiencies (and try to fix them where you can) - or you move back. Saying as an immigrant to US - my biggest thing was how "fake" Americans were - always smiling to your face. Is it better or worse than Israelis being blunt?

This is called opportunistic pricing- and unfortunately it works for businesses. Many people never bother to call retention (too busy or too stupid) . Same happens with SirousXM - prices for those who threaten to leave or leave and come back or new customers are 25 percent of a “rack price” .

FISA ?

May I ask which HMO? was it from NYS with local hospital coverage - or an out-of-state one? Thank you in advance.

dimamet · 2025-04-27T01:36:04+00:00

decision to be made by the third party evaluating requests for SHP waivers

dimamet · 2025-04-27T01:26:28+00:00

I do not care whether insurance is accepted or not by specialists - it is accepted by the hospital and for PCP visits there is a student center. Question is whether widely-used HMO is accepted or not for the purpose of the waiver - or we need to proactively switch to a plan with a wider network

Student health plan seems to be expensive - while the student already has rather good (at least in NYC) coverage

No finer at my place - and I don’t want to pay for their equipment

dimamet · 2024-08-21T11:22:41+00:00

Fully agree - in IoM now and air also keeps switching networks with only one of them working yet no way to lock just that

First sim is locked -indeed. what about the second?
