    I may have accidentally stayed up all night to watch the meltdown and am now dead. Worth it to be there for the moment /r/funny went offline though (at like 5am, omg I am too old for this sort of thing!)

    Today is gonna be rough, I have to somehow perk up enough to record a YT video and seem like I’m happy about it.

  • Friends of ours just got their first EV a few months ago, and are able to charge at home so it’s totally fine. Or at least it was, until their first long-distance trip in the thing last month.

    It wasn’t so much the fact that they had to stop three separate times on the drive to charge, it was that the facilties just weren’t enough for the demand. Despite us being in the UK, specifically England, the stereotypical English love of orderly queuing apparently went out the window and there were people pushing into queues and letting their friends in after them. A half hour charge time turned into more like 90mins trying to just actually get at a charger.

    Since you can’t really stop people being terrible, the only solution to this is going to be a LOT more available charging points in convenient locations.
