Mayor Pete has talked about standardizing charging plugs for EVs. I do not know which type of plug has the widest usage currently. I would only be guessing to say it is Tesla. My bet would be the standard will not be based on the Tesla plug though.

I'm sure the government will come up with the best solution...
yeah, I crack myself up.

Like always, follow the money. The electronics company that donated the most to Buttijug's campaign was Apple. So the standard for EV charging will be Apple's Ligntning wire.

Government doesn't need to be involved in standardization. Let the marketplace determine that.

The Department of Transportation, in partnership with the Department of Energy, is proposing new standards to make charging electric vehicles (EVs) a convenient, reliable, and affordable for all Americans, including when driving long distances. Without strong standards, chargers would be less reliable, may not work for all cars, or lack common payment methods. The new standards will ensure everyone can use the network –no matter what car you drive or which state you charge in.
The proposed standards, along with new coordinated federal actions on EVs, support President’s Biden’s priorities to lower costs for families, create good-paying jobs, and combat climate change.

Scanning through that pile of stinking horse crap, I see nothing in there about where the electricity is supposed to come from to feed all those charging stations.

All they end up accomplishing is driving the market higher, and creating more useless regulations. Of course this also stifles competition and lets fedgov pick winners and losers.
Just look at what they've done to the automobile industry with all of the over regulation. Lots of useless and expensive features that increase the cost.
Our founding fathers NEVER envisioned fedgov being involved with everything. That's why we have a 10th amendment. Let the individual states decide on what needs to be regulated.

Never mind that. The charging stations will be "convenient and equitable" whatever the fuck that means.

Sure, the States will decide, but "Today’s minimum standards and requirements will guide States on how to spend federal funds". It's up to the States, but the Feds will dictate how the States operate.

Just wait. At a juncture down the road a bureaucrat will add additional regulations requiring the electricity to be provided be "renewable energy" such as solar panels or wind. Then look for the efficiency of the charging stations to rapidly decline.
But hey, the elites will still have their ICE SUV's and fuel provided through a government agency because they will be declared "essential".
The peasant class with their crappy little EV and barely enough electricity to live on will just have to suck it up eating their rations of government cheese.

Time for the states to tell fedgov to piss off, and cut off fedgov's money. If the states would just stop sending our money to the DC washing machine a lot of this nonsense would cease.

The EV will become the U.S. version of the East German Trabant.

Just think “safe and effective” and you’ll get the picture.

Here’s another part of the EV culture FedGov won’t discuss. It won’t be difficult for FedGov to shut off cars with owners who go against the narrative.

Thinking we already have a nationwide network, they're called gas stations.

Yep. Efficient.
Just wait for ButtJizz to make it MANDATORY for any station that sells gas to also provide several EV charging ports.
Don’t comply? Out of business.

If I were a gas station, I would be working to figure how to add charging stations.

Agreed. But let the free market decide that, not ButtJizz and fedgov.

^^^^^^^THIS!!!! We're destroying the free market to develop better alternatives to EVs or even more fuel efficient ICE vehicles due to the Government/Big Corporation Cabal forcing EVs on people, worldwide. All the car companies have invested Trillions in new plants to build these abominations. Do you think they haven't demanded a return on their huge investments?

Looks like that is being done in Europe.
I wonder if the Biden admin is taking another shot at Tesla. Tesla built out their charging network on their own nickel. Last year Musk slammed the idea of government funding of charging stations. “Do we need support for gas stations? We don’t,” Musk said. “So there’s no need for support for a charging network."

Remember the laws that banned incandescent bulbs and required compact fluorescent? And then along came LED bulbs that are way more efficient and much brighter. Stuck with an inferior technology until the government got its head out of its ass.

I bought up a lifetime supply of incandescent. Screw anyone trying to order me around.

I did that too, but I’ve lived longer than my supply lasted. It seemed suspiciously to me as though my stockpiled incandescents were booby trapped to burn out quicker than ever before.
I managed to unearth some 100-watt ones for my husband to use to keep the plane engine warmish or whatever. When those are gone he’ll need to get a fancy piece of equipment for that.

Government had no business dictating light bulbs, they should have let the market place rule. We don't need fedgov interceding into every facet of our lives with more regulations.

That was never the intent in the first place. We've allowed huge Fed over reach

Duly noted. I hope all US based MS13 gang members here this, and travel north to enjoy the free fire zone north of the 49th parallel.

Oh yeah, we need more EVs. ROFLMAO!

see the benefits of the rolling blackouts? fires like that won't happen... (as often)

I laughed at that video but actually it’s not funny. The battery in my iPad started swelling and I realized it is a fire/explosion hazard. Not good when you use your device in bed at night. Or anytime near your body.
Turns out exploding batteries are a thing, in vapes! Here’s a guy whose vape blew up in his mouth:
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4125240/Idaho-man-loses-teeth-vape-explodes-face.html
Many other people have had vapes or phones explode in their pockets, damaging their thighs and genitals. Babies swallowing button batteries is fatal because the contact with moisture in the stomach makes them begin burning.
Okay that video is still funny. I guess I’m an evil person.

Colorado locked thousands of customers out of their "smart" thermostats due to an "energy emergency". Those customers signed up to give up control for a small rebate on their bills. Now they know the cost of relinquishing power. Literally.
How long until the government requires smart chargers on EVs? And they shut off charging for "the public good". No electricity for you! Get on the bus and like it.

What? What did you do? My iPad is getting old and now you’ve got me freaking out a little.

What? What did you do? My iPad is getting old and now you’ve got me freaking out a little.
It happened kind of slowly and I didn’t realize it for a while. The main symptom is the screen beginning to separate at the edges but that was obscured by the case. Also when I tapped on the screen it would ghost other areas which I think is because of the separation. Then about a week ago it started shutting down randomly and other signs of battery failure like not holding a charge very long. So I bought a new iPad but kept using the old one also. It wasn’t til today when I googled what to do about it that I read it’s a fire/explosion hazard. Yikes, I go to sleep with that thing 10” from my eyes.
I am assuming it’s a swelling battery because of the screen separation but I haven’t taken it apart to confirm. I wiped it clean and shut it down. The iPad is several years old and at the end of its lifetime anyway but I had gotten a new battery put in only January. So either it was a bad new battery or something in the iPad made the new battery go bad real fast. I’m going to take it back to the place that put in the new battery this week, have them take it out and dispose of it, and then I’ll take the iPad to the shooting range.
To avoid this, use only batteries from the device’s manufacturer, not a foreign-made knock off. Don’t allow the devices to overheat, like leaving them in a hot car. Don’t cover them while charging so they don’t overheat. (I’d have mine plugged in at night and it would end up under a pillow! Bad!). Use the charge block that comes with the device. Protect the device from falls and damage. Use power saving practices to extend the battery life. And when it shows signs of end of life replace it. I did that though and apparently that didn’t help. I’m just going to replace the whole damn device from now on like I always ever did before.
If yours is old you might just replace the whole iPad. The average lifespan is 4 to 6 years. Either the physical components will begin to fail or Apple will stop supporting it with updates anyway. Just do what I did. I said to hubby, “My birthday is this month so I’m buying myself a new iPad and a nice expensive made in USA real leather case for it, all total about $1000, mkay?” And of course it’s okay because he just spent several thousand dollars on parts for the 1980 Corvette he’s restoring. And didn’t yours just drop several tens of thousands on a hangar?

but only until they outlaw/ban all ICEs no matter how small or big

Tesla has a better option....

The Democrats and those running them know all these false, feel good, pipe dream policies are unrealistic and dishonest. They're purely to create a dependent, easily controlled populace, ruled by them, the New ROYALTY.
