Electric car charging stations head to Love's Travel Stops across the US:
[Electrify America] announced Tuesday a new collaborative effort with Love's to install charging stations at its stops across the US. Five locations are already open as of today in Oklahoma, New Mexico, Utah and Florida. Crucially, the stops now open helped complete a nationwide charging route from Los Angeles to Washington, D.C.
The new stations will charge at rates up to 350 kilowatts and can add up to 20 miles of range per minute. Ultimately, Electrify America's goal is to continue chipping away at America's range anxiety about electric cars. With more places to charge, it will be mighty difficult to run out of juice. Of course, the company's also bound to invest the cash as part of a Volkswagen dieselgate settlement here in the US...
Will such partnerships vanquish range anxiety for electric vehicles (EVs)?

The physics of energy storage and rate of release do not look good right now.
Maybe that will improve.
But for now, I am keeping my ice. And will not only vote against any individual politician. But his whole party, if I am threatened.
I already had to vote Democratic after the Republicans unanimously voted for the DMCA.
And I had been a " vote the ticket" republican before this. But my own party disowned me and sold out to the corporate whores and did not as much as bring up my concern of abandon ware becoming public domain. Once they got into office, screw you.
And I know the dimmocrats will too.
Will someone Please stand up for us common folk?

I'm not suggesting radical improvements. But I expect to see a stream of small improvements.
Or we could just give up on EVs and believe that cheap fossil fuels will last forever. Not to mention problems of global warming.
The lower I set my standards the more accomplishments I have.
