Well I was trying to find one thing that was exactly the same. The ground is level in the top photo. The curve in the curb is different. One building has a step down in the doorway, but not the other. The wall between the two buildings appears to be wider in one photo. I'm not saying it isn't, I'm just saying as far as I'm concerned, it could just be two very similar structures at two different times.

There are so many problems with that article it isn't even funny.

Here are a few:

1. It references the UK. The US and China are the biggest polluters. Meaning most cars are charged using fossil fuels and coal.
2. The article states it is a challenge to convert the DC from the car to the AC if the grid.
3. It seems to completely forget that a car has to be charged before it can discharge. The author seems to think thinking can solve it all.
4. A car that is used to charge the grid is LOSING the charge it needs to drive, which is the primary purpose of the car.
5. No matter how you slice it, some car owners simply can't use an electric vehicle. People who live in apartments for instance.

The answer isn't electric cars. The answer is LESS cars.

Doesn't look like the same place to me. More like two similar pictures of different places.

Power grids are failing. Sounds like a great time to add millions of EVs, to the mix.

Some places DO offer to take you somewhere, which is super cool. But face it, to take you back home and then bring you back again when the car is finished is cost prohibitive for a normal shop. They would have to have at least one extra vehicle to do this, a dedicated driver and insurance to cover what is essentially a completely separate service. They are a car repair service, not a shuttle service.

If you don't currently own an EV, why not ease into it with a plug in hybrid. Personally, I think it's more practical right now.

You've got to love the irony here. He complained for years that people entering at the southern border were criminals and shouldn't be allowed in and now essentially other countries are saying the same thing about him.

And moments after its efficacy was proven, Louisiana banned it.

Like a phone would last 50 years.

I want AI to control traffic lights so that I don't sit stopped through an entire cycle as the only car in a 1 mile radius. Also, if there is just one more car in line, let the light stay green just a couple seconds longer. Imagine the gas and time that could be saved... and frustration.

Went on a 3 week long trip to the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Norway and Denmark with my girlfriend. The majority of the time was spent in Norway and one night we took a gondola to the top of a mountain to watch some kind of show. I don't remember if it was a laser show, concert or what, but when it was over, as you can imagine there was a very long line to take the gondola back down. Not liking to wait so long we noticed that there were a number of people heading down the mountain, on foot. So we followed them. What could possibly go wrong? I mean it's a mountain. . . in town. . . All you have to do is go down and eventually you'll be back in town, right.

I started to get a little warm, so I took off my leather jacket and carried it in my arms. This is when I found out that even a 5 pound load can get heavy if you carry it long enough. Also, downhill, while easier than up hill, still isn't easy. It took forever and when we finally spilled out onto the street, we were in a completely unknown area. We'd somehow circled partly around the mountain and come out a different side. All of the people we were following had magically disappeared, like in the movies when the Vietnamese just step off into the forest before the bombs start falling on the soldiers.

We found ourselves standing in what appeared to be a suburban neighborhood. No one on the streets. No cars. No taxis. It was late and there were no busses running as far as we could tell. We had no idea how to get back to where we were staying. We didn't really speak the language. At that point we just looked at each other and said, "How did we get into this situation?"

In the end we found a bus terminal with a driver sitting in his bus, after his shift. We asked him and he told us which bus was still running and heading our way and that we couldn't get on at the terminal. The funny thing is when we finally boarded the bus, the driver was one of the passengers.

In my opinion, if sufficient time has passed... it was never rude. It's rude to not pay attention and cause the last three cars to miss the light.
