Anti-EV idiocy

I do that with mine all the time!

The bike, right? Do you ever get hassled? Or even noticed that you can tell? Do you park on sidewalks or just in proper spaces and stretch a cord? Very curious how this plays out in real life. Arizona is pretty friendly to motorcycles on sidewalks because of our heat problem. I don't know if other places are.

Well, I try to make sure I tuck out of the way. I only have a 10' cord, so up against walls it is!

I try to ask when I can.

But I've never been hassled - but if the spot is listed on Plugshare as 'got hassled' I don't go. Any I had to ask to use I don't post.

Most seem pretty okay with letting me charge, honestly.

PS, I really hate the rules that say bikes and peds can't mix - it's not like there's sidewalks in parking lots, they clearly expect them to mix. It's about speed and whatnot. Just make sure you're not blocking a wheelchair's space to get past you and not blocking a fire exit and you should be fine, right?

Oh, never considered that Plugshare would have crowdsourced recommendations. Yelp for charging.

The % of drivers in an age group is fairly level from ages 20-59 but really starts to drop significantly at ages 60-64 and then drops precipitately after 64.

The significant increase of the number of elderly persons in U.S. population since 2015 might account for a big share of the decrease in new passenger vehicle sales since 2015.

Uber/Lyft has changed the game. Self driving cars will change again massively.
