I would love a network of EV charging stations like Norway. Why is it that the Scandinavian countries are usually ahead of the game in terms of societal development and design! If nationality were a free agency game, I think I’d choose one of them.

Cool article on the lucid dreaming. I’ve also taken to more intentionally sleeping on my side after learning about the brain’s washing machine called the glymphatic system. Naturally find myself waking up on my right side, so there is probably some unconscious beneficial reason for that:
2. EV. I'm ready and willing but unable to go EV because in my condo I'd have to build a charging station. Other condo developer offer charging stations........
Batteries are coming, Daniel, where people will be able to charge elsewhere.....much quicker. Maybe a few years, so I hope as an "oldster" myself that my LAST car will be one of those.
1996 - 99 ? We had a jump on electric vehicles at the time . Then , with little explanation, they were all recalled outside of a few that went to
a museum or something like that. Many who
leased the vehicles ( I believe ownership was forbidden) didn’t want to give them up - but GM refused and sent them to be crushed ( the cars not the lease holders ) .
Some say it just wasn’t profitable for GM because they couldn’t make as much money on parts - others believe GM self-sabotaged the EV1 due to pressure from the oil industry and others .
My point is that the USA was very un Norwegian like . This set us back . We should have taken the lead in this and now look what has happened to the temperature of the planet .
“ The fault , Dear Brutus , is not in the stars , but with ourselves “ .
So right! Got my chuckle over lease holders clarification. Because of the greed, we lost the cleaner air health benefits as well. They don't give a damn about kids with asthma, old people, or anyone trying to get a breath of fresh air.
Car companies and gas/oil companies collude---they called it "cooperating" in front of Congress. The CAFE standard raises are the only reason people are getting ANY mileage for SUV/trucks. Electric cars are used as a tool to meet the figure they are ordered to reach, so they don't have to improve the gas hogs.
Congress and the President needs to make them do the right thing. Al Gore would have been such a good leader instead of that oil guy, and Norway would be driving OUR cars. In all fairness they are buying Tesla's and Mustangs.
Hello Daniel , I have a new still in box Clipper Creek level 2 charging station. Clipper Creek has been a long standing name in Charging and now partnering with the larger EV systems of Enphase. This unit can hang on a wall and comes with 25-30 chord with receptacle ready plug on end. Just need 40-50 amp breaker installed just as you might use for 240 watts electric stove setup and wire running from breaker panel to this unit. If you or anyone here has an interest. Lets talk Cliff K
Maybe some of your neighbors might be interested in sharing the cost of a small shed for use as the battery station. I have a new inbox level two Clipper Creek CHARGER
If you are interested ,lets talk...get your neighbors on board if possible. I can sell you a ready to go level two new charger that just needs a wall to hang on.
What? Sounds like crap to me. So you have No breaker panel in your apartment that controls just your place? If you do not then ok but if you have a 100 amp 240 volt servicereaker panel you should be able to do this just with an electrician
The units have nothing to do with the garage. Can't even get generators for individual units, which would be my first priority.
We have a bad situation vis a vis the condo. We used to own one where most of the residents had solar vehicles. But I don't live there. Here, they are verboten for political purposes. Miami has a code set up equivalent to the Soviet Union. Bribes are required. FPL is not friendly. Our reserves are low, we are facing special assessments of maybe tens of thousands of dollars. Can't even agree on which law firm to use to sue.
Yes I can understand your situation in FL. Particularly the governor there is in competition with Putin. And the political machinery is crooked as it comes. I wonder about just how many states are being held captive by the fossil fuel industry claws
Me too. In terms of cardiovascular considerations, lying on one’s left side to sleep lets gravity aid venous return to the heart via the slightly right sided inferior and superior vena cava… during pregnancy this is especially noticeable, and is a position employed during labor. Left side also better for gastroesophageal reflux. But I almost always wake up on my right side… so I’m guessing there is something beneficial to the position change besides just redistributing pressure to one side of the body all night. Maybe it’s the glymphatic system’s turn.
The magical, still largely mystery machinations of sleep!

Alis ,
Remember GM’s EV1 , produced from about

and ( I would add ) greedy swine that worship

Sorry but FPL has to run a line into the garage.

I know it's hard to imagine but the local government is worse than the state Fascists.
I have always gone to sleep on my left side.
