    Dunno about meth. I think a ketamine toothpick would be more appropriate.

    That's obviously somewhere in Europe. However, I wonder how that works. It takes a very, veryong time to charge a EV from a normal outlet...110/220. I will look up the specs here in a second. My buddy has a tesla so I grilled him with questions about it. I think it takes like 4 days to charge from a 110 outlet. That is why telsa sells those high performance chargers you have to wire into your garage with transformer.

    Edit: according to tesla a 110 outlet will give you about 2.5 miles of driving per hour charged. Gees

    Charging Your Tesla

    ReEdit: when my buddy bought his. I asked about the 2 large bags in the front trunk. They are filled with charging cords and adapters. Holy cow, I didn't know there were so many options. Well, EVs aren't standardized. So Nissan has a different plug than Tesla’s, than Toyota....
    Etc. So depending on where you are stopped to charge, you have to have an adapter for that.

    My question is, right now charging is free out and about from what I understand. That is one of the big incentives in buying EV right now. We'll, electricity isn't free.....so who's paying for it? Not to mention that in the all electric future, who's paying for the electricity ? Our roads are also maintained primarily by fuel tax. Which is why some states have enacted a mileage tax. Which was also in the BBB (green new deal). Problem is, we all pay it......ontop of the fuel tax we already pay.

    More edit: I guess this is a thing....who knew. Mobile charging services......lol
