I rented a M3 and it had the standard portable cable 120/240v with adapters. Worked well no issues.

I think you got it with number 2, that makes the most sense.

The reality is that price is a barrier for most people. While new EVs are comparable to some segments of ICE vehicles, there are currently no cheap three row vehicles or cheap mid/large family cars out there. There are good values on used small/compact hatchbacks (Bolt and Leaf) with decent...

Appreciate the motorcycle thoughts, much like EVs in general, there isn't a single solution for everyone. An e motorcycle that could meet my needs would be pretty cool, but I'm guessing we are years away from something like that. It wasn't that long ago though that an EV wouldn't have met my car...

No electric hookups in the national forest I ride -...

I come from an offroad/dual sport/adventure riding background and I think that is a sizeable piece of the motorcycle market. I often ride 100-150 miles between gas stations with nothing between - it will be a long time before those small, remote towns get public EV charging. Until then electric...

I've never had those problems with EA. Except for my very first charge with EA, I've been charging in less than 1-2 minutes on the first try. My have never had a problem with EA either. Following the Rivian Forums, most people are finding EA to be reliable and workable. I have found though that...

I've often defended non-Tesla chargers, and they are becoming more viable but they really lag in payment/initiating charge vs Superchargers. Tesla's lead with the Supercharger network isn't so much about location anymore, at least were I travel, it is about plug and charge always working. You...

Given the current technology and infrastructure I wouldn't own an EV if I couldn't charge at home (or at work). Widespread level 2 chargers are an important piece of the puzzle and will make EVs more convenient if you can't charge at home. More level 2 would also help make some rural areas more...

Rural absolutely holds many definitions, but where I grew up, a town of 500 in NE Washington, we drove 90 miles one way to go shopping once a month, as did most people in that area. It was always a long day of driving and shopping. We are a long way from having an autonomous cars that can make...

If you are still following this, the ship sank. We will likely never find the cause. In regard to some of the comments, these ships do have sprinkler systems installed. I've tested them on ships similar to this and they absolutely drench you. During testing we wear hard hats and rain gear and...

I've been involved with maritime safety since 1993, fires on this type of vessel (ro/ro short for roll on/roll off) are all too common. Ro/ros have very large CO2 systems for fire suppression, but generally only enough to use once, or twice and with a hot fire can't combat reflashes. Given how...

Towing with EVs (truck or other) will be fine around town or for distances that can be covered without charging. They will have plenty of torque. Small, aerodynamic trailers will be OK as well, even for distances because they are easily unhooked when you need to charge. Large trailers which will...

While it is easy to throw stones, what two automakers no longer qualify for US federal EV tax credits because they've more than 200K qualifying EVs? Hint, one of them is GM. As an owner of both a Model S and Chevy Bolt, they are great cars for different reasons. My trust of GM has nothing to do...
