The oil industry is definitely thinking ahead. They should be able to block alternative energy sources indefinitely.

Like the last 100 years?

As a teenager I ran car on fumes...always running out of gas. Then I got smart and never let it go much below 1/4.
There are gas stations most places every few miles...not so with charging stations. I know this argument has been beat to death but of course charging stations will be everywhere in 10 years...along with power line towers everywhere and $Billions of taxpayer money and higher electric bills.
This view from my horse stable down to the barn won't look like this now since mountains will be clear cut, towers installed.
Try charging an electric car/truck in 5 minutes like I can with fuel. View attachment 710975

That is a BEAUTIFUL VIEW !

For my golf cart!

For my golf cart!

281 HP...You must have quite a golf cart! My snowsled's only 55, and that's enough for me.

18 holes in before coffee with 281 HP in the cart.

The EVSE is the robot I was talking about. It is just a computerized switch controlled by the EV.

I don't understand. The EVSE is always controlled by the EV, whether a robot made the connection or not.

For saving 15 seconds to move the EVSE plug 4' I have no interest in a robot.

Never ceases to amaze me how these “all electric” folks still don’t understand that increased fossil fuels will need to be burned to provide increased electricity for their green, virtue signaling lifestyles

I agree, most are batshit crazy. Of course not me, but then again I'm not a "save the world with EV." I simply decided I'd rather have a Model S than a Corvette or Porsche.

What should have been done FIRST is making the source of the power generation green, THEN make the end users appliances and cars electric.
THAT would be closer to “green“.

However you are practicing the same sort of self-disillusionment. A Tesla Model 3 powered 100% by coal-fired electricity is as "green" as a 50 MPG Prius on gasoline. But the Tesla requires no effort to change to hydro, solar, nuclear, natural gas, oil, or unicorn tears. The Prius requires great effort to dilute gasoline only 10% with questionable benefit of ethanol.

That's just dumb. A software tweak would fix that. I was thinking regen from towing meant you would arrive at your campsite with a fully charged EV battery, ready to explore.

I don't think a software tweak is needed at all. Just put the car in Drive and pull it. It won't know it is not going downhill while regeneratively charging the battery.
