I've been driving an EV for a few years now, and it's great. However the lack of easy charging outside of major cities can be frustrating, and with the current strain on the power grid in Cali, we're being told not to charge during certain hours. How is it going to work 13 years from now when gas cars are banned, and everyone needs to charge up? I'm honestly not sure what fuel my next car will be, and I do need to get another vehicle soon, and my gas car (which I use occasionally for longer trips and when I need a 2nd vehicle) is on it's last legs. Hydrogen sounds cool, but nowhere to fuel it near me. Years ago I did biodiesel, but those service stations went away. Prior to that I converted a diesel mercedes to run off of waste veggie oil, but I'm too old and busy to go around to chinese restaurants and collect their waste like I did in my 20's.I live where we were without power for the last six days
The clerk at the grocery store actually said” can you imagine how much worse this would be if we were all driving those electric vehicles “
It’s frightening. IMO this will not bode well for your country no matter what happens. This guy needs to have a massive coronary and die, any other outcome will be a call to action for his army of dumb. I just can’t fucking believe this shit!!!!
If he has a heart attack, they'll just say the deep state killed him. The nutbags are going to be nutbags. However, Trump isn't inspiring anyone to commit violence on his behalf. The ones who did are in the federal pen while Trump pardoned a rapper. Out of the 143 people Trump pardoned on his last day in office, zero is the number of people pardoned for storming the US Capitol Building on his behalf. During his rally before this one, he hinted that he might pardon them if re-elected. Yeah, just like he was going to lock her up if he got elected, LOL.

I’m not talking about a full blown attack but more of the Oklahoma type shit. I’m sure as a outsider looking in I have less insight as to how this will play out. Hopes and prayers

Timothy McVeigh is a good example. Home grown terrorists have been around all along. It's just that they found a mouthpiece in Loser45.I’m not talking about a full blown attack but more of the Oklahoma type shit.

The rural urban divide is a real thing in Oregon. This is a story about how an attempt to turn an abandoned rail line into a trail that would draw tourist money into a rural economy became a right wing touchstone that not only divided the community but normalized kkk-style terrorism.I’m not talking about a full blown attack but more of the Oklahoma type shit. I’m sure as a outsider looking in I have less insight as to how this will play out. Hopes and prayers
How a trail in rural Oregon became a target of far-right extremism - High Country News
To understand the state’s urban-rural divide, start by looking at Yamhill County’s proposed walking trail.
www.hcn.org
When the Yamhelas Westsider Trail was first conceived, the county’s three commissioners supported it. Locals loved the idea; one winemaker donated $16,000 to the cause. The state gave the county a $1.5 million grant to help purchase the right of way, and the commission hired engineers to build a bridge outside Yamhill that was needed to develop the trail.
An early phase would span 2.8 miles, connecting the towns of Carlton and Yamhill, two communities linked in many ways: The schools share the name Yamhill-Carlton, and the entire area is deemed an AVA — an “American Viticultural Area” — for the loamy soil that allows grapes to flourish here. There is no Yamhill without Carlton, and no Carlton without Yamhill.
And yet the towns differ widely.
Though timber built Carlton, wine revived it: Nearly every Main Street storefront now houses a wine-tasting room. A bakery sells mushroom truffle gougères and complicated artisan breads. Gardens behind white picket fences burst with tulips like spring fireworks.
In Yamhill, most of the storefronts stand vacant, and yard signs and flags project a different vibe: “Blue Lives Matter” and “Don’t Blame Me, I Voted for Trump.” A billboard next to a red barn yells: “The United Nations is Not Your Friend!”
LAST YEAR, TWO WOMEN RAN for the single open seat on the County Commission. One issue dominated the race: the trail.
Candidate Barbara Boyer was a well-known farmer in her mid-50s who co-founded the local farmers market. She has accolades from the state Board of Agriculture, the Agriculture Heritage Commission, the local Soil and Water Conservation Board. She preached compromise and conversation, and waved away political drama with a smile and big laugh.
Boyer’s opponent was a 40-year-old Arizona native and Republican political consultant named Lindsay Berschauer. She has long brown hair and big eyelashes, and often wears power suits. She is known for her willingness to stir the pot. “I would consider myself a consultant who likes to push the limit,” she explained at a forum in 2016. She had worked for Oregon Transformation Project, an organization fueled by anti-Portland rhetoric, which poured tens of thousands of dollars into conservative political coffers, exhorting voters to halt “Portland Creep.” Congestion, density and crime, its billboards warned, were coming for outlying areas.
Until recently, Berschauer lived in a spacious waterfront home on the Willamette River, according to public records. But during the race, she presented herself as a working-class candidate who idolized the Oregon logger. During the election, Berschauer wore a Carhartt vest and jeans.
The story goes on with Bershauer poisoning the community with Trumpian lies and distortions. She joined forces with the County Commission Chair who founded "Oregonians for Life" an anti abortion PAC. As described in the article, as Trumpism evolved, so did the racist and violent rhetoric from the two right wing commissioners.
And there is a racial component to the Yamhill County story, too: Two months after Republicans walked out of the Statehouse and Timber Unity made its grand political entrance, Commissioner Starrett was fighting diversity training for county employees. She questioned whether white privilege was real, drawing on myths about Asian Americans, saying Asians “have better credit scores, they have more wealth. … We could talk about Asian privilege.”
She was opposed and her attempt at stopping a two hour training session was defeated by the community. But damage she caused was permanent. Fast forward to the end of the article. Kulla, the lone not Trumpian commissioner is receiving death threats. The state Rep from southern Yamhill County was the one who opened the locked doors to Proud Boys during a closed session in Salem where lawmakers were debating mask mandates during the epidemic. Rioters got into the building and were eventually pushed back in violent confrontation with the police security officers. This just a month or so before the Jan 6 insurrection. The lone Hispanic city councilor in a nearby town, Sal Peralta, of McMinnville has been targeted and trash dumped on his front lawn. One morning this spring, he found a toilet in his front yard. “I don’t know if that was Timber Unity,” he said. “I also have a Black Lives Matter sign in front of my house. I don’t know why it happened, but I can tell you I have been singled out clearly and deliberately so many times that it wouldn’t surprise me if it was deliberate.”
So the US is becoming one big urban-rural divide. The analogy of a US Taliban is not wrong. The Taliban live in a rural tribal homeland part of which is within Pakistan's borders but not governed by Pakistan. The other part is in Afghanistan. From the Taliban homeland comes terrorism and they even conquered Afghanistan. They are violent, dogmatic fundamentalist religious bigots and extremely conservative in their culture. This is, of course, not the US but there are echoes of the Taliban in places like Yamhill.

I think they feel they're too invested at this point. Plus, the way they behave makes me think orange googoo has something on them.

I need to get a new roof first. I had one contractor out last week to get a quote, and another is coming this week. My house is small, but the quote was over $9k. I was expecting closer to $6k, but maybe it's the just the cost of things these days with supply chain issues and global inflation.

You might see that a lot for car charging, solar panels on the roof and a cheap bulky battery bank to fast charge the EV. The grid might not be up to EVs for awhile in some places.

Define cheap in $ per available* kWh.
Link to a commercially available 100 kWh unit that meets the criterion without subsidy.

Electric vehicle battery capable of 98% charge in less than ten minutes
Enovix, based in Fremont, California, announced that it demonstrated in electric vehicle (EV) battery cells the ability to charge from 0% to 80% state-of-charge in as little as 5.2 minutes and to achieve a greater than 98% charge capacity in under 10 minutes. The cells also surpassed 1,000 cycles while retaining 93% of their capacity.
The achievement shattered the United States Advanced Battery Consortium (USABC) goal of achieving 80% charge in 15 minutes

I said there might be a market for it in places where the grid is not up to it, I imagine a cheap sodium based battery bank would be charged by solar and grid power, if required. Such products are probably in development, provided someone sees a marketing opportunity. With unstable grid power in some locations battery banks can do a lot to stabilize grid power, handle peak loads, brown out and outages.
CA and other states won't be selling new ICE cars after 2035 and the load on the grid will increase dramatically. Many families live in the burbs, commute to work and have two cars, one of them will likely be an EV in the next few years.

So, pie in the sky.
I reinspected the post; it does not say “in future”. Thus it was reasonable for me to request currently sold solutions.
