So I needed to rent a car while mines down and being worked on. The only car available at a reasonable price I could find in my area turns out to be an electric car. So I was given the car at 40% charged with 90 miles to go. I do gig work. 90 miles doesn't fly with me. So I bring it to one of these charging stations and it will take 2.5 hours to fully charge the vehicle. The thing doesn't plug in easy and there is no option to rapid charge. I had to call the customer service help because the machine got stuck on initiating the charge and the car wouldn't let me unplug it.
So then I thought this is a genius idea to be able to take total control over the people. But will take time. Force everyone to have electric car. Then cut off the power and BAM. Travel just became harder.
The features are cool though. Tells me when it's not safe to merge lanes by having light up pictures showing there's a car at a certain point and it sound like a space ship while you are braking. When you turn off the car it tells me to check the back seat. I asked the rental guy why and he said it's so you don't accidentally leave your kid in the back seat.
I asked the lady who works at the gas station how long. She said maybe 30 minutes for that truck to unload all that fuel to them.
I would think a simple fix would be putting in something like an altinator type thing that is compatible with the battery and infrastructure going forward I would see something as simple as using that wireless charging technology like they have on phones. My social studies teach back in 07 said they been trying to scare everyone with global warming since even when he was a kid.
