    Sure they are. By using Prime you eliminate that drive to the store. No tailpipe emissions with free delivery, right? Carbon credits! They are priceless. (sarcasm off).

    We screwed up original intent of this thread. But I wonder if there is a (crowd-sourced) EV website that tells locations, types, number and current* condition of EV chargers. Port that info to a smartphone app and bam - revenue flows.

    *must be a pun in here somewhere,

    unfortunately, a lot of info isn't kept up to date. so don't arrive at an expected station too low on electrons to get to another.

    Exactly!

    When the Whole Foods 3 miles further away opened with L2 EVSE's, I shopped there. They closed last year. Free charger in one parking garage downtown, I park there and walk further to downtown locations. Free charger at the movie theaters, that's where I go to see movies. Pay for charger, of any kind, not having it. Useless waste of space.

    Also you may want to look online for carbonated water too. I buy the "sparkling" Voss which come in nice glass recyclable containers. $1.89 for 375ml locally in the store when on sale, $2.49 normally. I can buy it online from New Jersey for $1.75 a bottle with free shipping to my door in packs of 24.

    For some reason, I didn't receive a notification, but thank you for tagging us here! To confirm, were those ChargePoint stations? If so, can you send me a private message with the address of the location, and I'll send your report to our driver support team so that they can try to get in touch with the station owner directly. Thanks! - Rochelle

    • The left one measures -12V on the pilot signal which means it has an EVSE internal error
    • Both J1772 locking tabs are missing the tooth at the end
    • The right one J1772 is badly fractured and you can see the ground wire through the crack.

    Example of Tragedy of the Commons. But perhaps only a low-grade tragedy until a poorly maintained, high-voltage, unsupervised-public-use device makes somebody look like Reddy Kilowatt.

    Mural at 37. I like the Huntsville theme rocket. But those tomatoes look like Vietnamese flags.

    Better be careful locking pooches in a car with the winders up!

    Some states have laws..... ;)


    Ah......probably not Alabama though.... :eek:
    ...............only eight states — California, Colorado, Indiana, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio and Tennessee — have “Good Samaritan” laws that allow any person to break a car window to save a pet.May 12, 2017

    I don't mind paying a reasonable rate to charge in public, but they better be plentiful at the location and well policed for ICE.

    Hard to see but if you blow up the photo, you'll see the window (actually both) are open at the top and I don't lock the doors.
