% I had posted http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/ot-EVLN-EV-newswire-status-BINGO-tp4689709.html that the EV news was now so thin (super-slow trickle), that I was having to scrape not only the bottom, but the sides of the barrel to find anything EV-interesting/worthy of your viewing time.
And in the past I have posted of how the anti-EV Koch-Bros $M's were strewn throughout the media of which I had to wade through (like a cesspool) to find EV items. Well, it seems one of the koch-funded media-teams have run short on ideas. Morgan Stanley's 'snack-item-cra$h caused by EVs' piece that was obviously paid for by fo$$il-fuel koch-bro$, has been run in many forms by several media outlets (most of which have turned off public access to comment). Normally, I do not give posting time to koch's anti-EV junk. But this-time I thought I would show what I found/have-endured-through. The headline tries to blame gas-stations losing convience-store ca$h-flow, because EVs won't be stopping there. But this ignores several points: -drivers still will want a soda/snacks on their route. When I would plan an EV trip, when I choose a public EVSE (or are updating a plugshare.com listing), I would select an EVSE that had a nearby place to get drinks, food, restroom for the L2-hours wait. So, many times when L2 charging, I would walk to the nearest ice-station, use their convenience-store services while I wait ... -EVSE at ice-stations. Shell isn't the only oil company installing EVSE at their gas-stations: http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Shell-shock-oil-company-embraces-EVs-with-Shell-Recharge-charging-tp4688308.html http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/BP-Fuel-Cards-sez-EV-charging-a-logical-move-use-their-ice-card-to-charge-a-plugin-tp4686324.html http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Mark-Oil-in-bed-w-Nissan-installing-L3-EVSE-Charlotte-NC-BP-convenience-stores-tp4683951.html http://electric-vehicle-discussion-list.413529.n4.nabble.com/Volt-charging-stations-Shell-oil-tp414503.html In those cases, the plugin driver will be there L2 charging for hours, thus would consume many more drinks/snacks than ice-drivers would would be in-and-gone quickly ... -And the ratio EVs on the road compared to ice is still way-low thus, ice-station convenience store biz will just not be impacted ... So the whole koch-induced headline is hysterical. The inane-premise twists and turns like a twisty-turny thing ... Below is one link, but I purposely left off all the links on the others (you can find them yourself, as I do like advertising koch's anti-EV garbage): https://www.pcmag.com/commentary/360289/electric-vehicles-are-coming-for-your-snacks Electric Vehicles Are Coming for Your Snacks April 7, 2018 Most major automakers have committed to converting their entire future fleets to some form of electric power ... electric vehicles (EVs) will go hand in hand with self-driving technology.
