Meh,
They claim installing a charger is a required expense, and then base the
operating cost on solely using public charging.
I would say that hardly anyone in the USA operates their EV exclusively on the
high priced public chargers. Most would either use 'free' chargers, or charge

All of the pickups that are supposedly coming out will have that, at least as
an option.
I've seen references to it on Cybertruck, Lordstown, and Rivian.
Plus there is a website about adding 1kw inverters to Chevy Volts and many

There are only two ways out of my neighborhood. The short way is on a highway
with a 55mph speed limit. The long way (adds 6 miles) has a posted speed limit
