This problem requires multiple solutions, here's some that I think work great in Norway:

- "Lamppost" charging, Oslo (and other cities) put up a ton of charging poles in the streets, you use an RFID card to start charging. They've recently been free, but now cost $1 per hour ($0.5 at night). They look like this[1a] or this[1b]. Oslo will have about 2200 of these at the end of the year.

- Parking house charging. My regular parking house got it's own zone for electrics. Your license plate is read when you enter the parking house, then read again if you enter the charging zone. Automatically billed when you leave. This is my main charging atm, I've a garage, but not had extra power installed yet. My car has about 500 km range. Leaving it a work day in a parking house once per ~14 day is enough for my (limited) use. Some of the parking houses in Norway are built with battery banks to handle the load of 100+ chargers. Here's a video tour of one of them[2] (I don't live in Oslo though, but it's similar). I think I end up paying $12-ish for parking+charging for the one I use for 8+ hours.

- Shopping centers / convenience store charging. Many stores here got free AC charging now. And some of the larger centers / stores have established fast chargers (DC) on their parking lot (costs money to use). I can charge 250 km range while doing 30 minutes of shopping for around $10.

- Charging at work. Many work places here in Norway offer free charging as a perk.

- Friendly neighbours. In my street there's a dude who's put up a sign: "You're free to use my charger if I'm not here, send me $1 per hour using vipps (local app for mobile payment) to XXXXXX if you feel like it"

- And if all else fails, have plenty of paid fast chargers around in central locations, sucks to wait around for 30-60+ minutes, but it's a nice backup.

There's tons of charging spots in Norway, but the number of cars is outpacing the number of chargers, we'll probably see more congestion and queues in the coming years.

While I've never hit a full parking house yet, it will happen sooner or later, so it really helps to have a long range EV, that way you can go "Meh, I'll charge tomorrow instead.."

Somehow people figured out how to make gasoline fueling infrastructure, which is amazing in itself. Extracting fuel out of the ground, transporting to refinery, transporting to destination holes scattered nearly everywhere around the world and pumping refined fuel back in, and then pumping back out of the ground into little fuel tanks in cars for it to be burned. If someone described that to me as a plan for internal combustion I would not believe them. With EVs, we actually have the delivery mechanism for fuel already mostly figured out.
My wife would be utterly unsurprised I made the joke in the middle of a distasteful discussion - I was just commenting on what was paying the bills - I wasn't condoning or discussing the rest of the thread.
I like the streetlight idea for getting more chargers out there. It'd also be great if every parking meter had at least a trickle-charger.

Hopefully solar efficiencies will continue to improve to the point where trickle charging via solar is actually viable.
A LONG TIME. Best part of 6-12 months, maybe. That is a long time when you're 19.
Perhaps a laundromat with chargers.

I've often said that if I were to open a retail business, it'd be a 24 hours combo, laundromat, pizza place, coffee shop and book store, probably with a side of bodega inside.
I tend to think it's lack of competition. The industries that do best in the US are ones that foreign competitors have the easiest ability to compete in. Construction is almost inherently a domestic affair. With efficiencies gained in more competitive the money saved has to go somewhere so it gets spent on construction.

Of course a problem with this is that I don't think all forms of infrastructure spending of gone up in price - look at housing; per square foot I don't think the cost has gone up that much.

> I don't actually understand how Markforged and BASF can print with a material that obviously becomes runny at about 250°C, and yet retains its shape while in the sintering furnace at 1300°C. It would be good to learn more about how this works.

A blind guess: the original filament has a resin to make the metal powder flow, that becomes viscous at certain temperatures. Perhaps this resin could be volatile and evaporate at temperatures below its viscous temperature.

Or maybe it could be quickly burned off by supplying extra oxygen (so that burning temperature isn't high and there's not enough time for the piece to deform).

In any case you could probably introduce some kind of automatic software correction for the deformation to the piece. As noted in the article this has some limitations/drawbacks, like limiting some geometries you can achieve (and requiring careful knowledge/control of your process).
The main difference is that a gas pump can dump single-digit megawatts of power, so a "full charge" only takes a few minutes.

The best commercial EV fast chargers (that require a six-figure DC power converter) are on the order of a quarter of a megawatt, and a good level 2 charger (basically a glorified dryer plug) is just shy of 10kW.

I think the argument going is that if you live in a city core, you don't need a car, so most places don't have parking.
You’d do a weekly food shop, and do your weekly charge at the same time.

“Well over an hour” is wrong, there’s almost no electric car that won’t do an 80% charge in 45 minutes, and most take half an hour.

Why do people subscribe to the myth that US infrastructure is bad? I am Danish and was on a road trip from Houston to LA, to Caspar WY, to Denver CO in 2017 and the roads we were driving on were excellent. Better than even the German highways which are some of the best roads in Europe. Is it the construction lobby that wants more funding and creates this narrative?

Yes. You also need to factor in things like having young kids. Before I had them taking an ebike to a train would make perfect sense. Now though, without a car it would be incredibly difficult to get them to daycare and make it to work on time without waking up before Dawn.

That's a big one for me. It's the largest thing you can probably do to reduce global warming, personally. EVs are also faster to accelerate, and more fun to drive.

> > These stations are expensive (up to $100,000) and require more power than your house, so you’ll never have one of these in your garage.

I challenge this on the cost front and on the power front.

There is zero reason why a fast charger should be $100,000 other than the fact that the volume is sufficiently low that these are all hand built. The semiconductors in that thing can't possibly be $100,000 in volume. Copper is roughly $10 per kilogram--or $100,000 and you could use 10 metric tonnes--there is no way those things hold 10,000 kg of copper.

As for the power, these things are probably more than 90% efficient, so they don't use any more power than the smaller ones (the load they are charging is a fixed size regardless of how fast you charge it). They may use more current, but that's the whole point! These things charge your car faster.

The biggest issue with installing these at home is probably access to genuine 440V (or higher) 3 phase. And you probably get around that by making the charger the equivalent of a Powerwall--it stores the energy at normal 220 feed levels but blasts it into your car from it's own batteries as fast as it can.
If your interest in infrastructure begins and ends with cars, then the USA won't disappoint.
Ha, that’s how I started! If you’re interested in dipping a toe in, I recommend doing a weekend trip - bike out, camp, and back. It’s a wonderful feeling to escape wherever you are under your own power.
FYI: If you're in cold weather, assume that you can loose 40% of range on the coldest day of the year. Thus, when it's 20 degrees, the 120 mile trip will take 200 miles of range.

Furthermore, you need a bit of a safety buffer, because you shouldn't plan to drive an EV to 0% everyday, so if you plan on driving in cold weather, you should have about 240 miles of range.

FWIW: My wife and I had some very close calls in our 2014 Leaf. (EPA rated for 80ish miles) One 40 mile round trip on a 10 degree New Years Eve nearly left us with a dead battery.
What understanding? If you can't do anything with it, what do you understand?
> institutional fund is legally required to be a hard-ass

What do you mean by this?
I never said it would take an hour. I specifically said you could get an 80% charge in about an hour.

And the grocery store better have a lot of chargers if everyone is doing their weekly fillup while they shop.
You could do a lot worse than to contact one of your local hiking clubs/associations - I'm from the Northeast, but at first glance the Washington Trail Association seems similar in scope to the Appalachian Mountain Club with which I'm familiar. You should be able to find everything from simple trail lists/maps to classes to already-planned trips with trained leaders etc. It's a fantastic way to learn about the area, learn new skills, and meet people.
That article is from 2011. Modern fast chargers are 2-3x faster than that, and the next generation (350 kW chargers) will cut times in half again.
Surely not having access to private parking is almost entirely an urbanite problem, to do with living in apartment blocks. Anyone who lives in the suburbs would be very likely to have their own parking.
Muni already has a fare system for low-income riders.
Why would that be a crime? Intent is irrelevant. The crime is that the DMV is running shit code that is wrongly accusing people of crimes.
Why is this a problem? Gas-powered cars don’t fill up when they’re parked. Just solve the problem the same way - let people go to a specific place to charge their car like they do to fill up with gas.

I have a Tesla and live in an apartment and it’s really not a big problem. The Superchargers are pretty convenient. And once Tesla rolls out L3 chargers more widely it will be even easier.

I saw an interesting pitch from Sparkcharge [1] at an incubator event, which is deliverable super charger batteries.

If it scales, it would essentially allow people to order charging on the fly, get it delivered/hooked up by an Uber driver, and then just leave it for pickup in the lot they parked in. This is obviously only an urban or suburban solution, but could help with some of the issues.

Thanks.

And no, it shouldn't. But it is.

There are startup opportunities, perhaps. Something like Tails, but more comprehensive. And even more intuitive and user-friendly. Maybe using some lighter type of OS compartmentalization.

Ah yes, this reminds me of my University account. I chose a long password generated with my password manager, which of course contained a chara66 that was both allowed at set up and usage. But because I had to frequently type it in without my password manager (i.e. on a University PC), I wanted to change it. But the change dialog asked for the old password and didn't accept it, due to the forbidden character. I had to go to the support who refused to believe my story and wasn't able to change my password. It took a few weeks to get hold of a person who was allowed to change passwords.

It's always struck me as weird that they aren't producing hybrids in the vehicles that can most benefit from them: vans, pickups, trucks and tractors.

All of these are vehicles with a focus on power and range that would benefit from the torque and simplicity of electric motors, and could easily absorb the weight penalty of a motor-generator and fuel versus more batteries. The people who buy these for functional reasons would appreciate the long range, easy refueling, and reduced maintenance costs.
Why is a fast charger 1-4 hours a week? You can do an 80% charge in a Tesla Model 3 in 24 minutes with the new generation of Superchargers, https://electrek.co/2019/07/02/tesla-supercharger-v3-range-m.... That will only improve in the coming years. 1-4 hours is not a valid charge time even now.

> Some years ago, apparently Guido Van Rossum though 200 lines

I think it's better to measure the number of separate code entities (classes and functions and modules in Python) and how many different use-cases (ways of calling functions and object constructors) each entity is expected to cover... After converting to LOC, I'd say ~500 would be the limit. After that, it's a constant fight with TypeErrors, NameErrors, and AttributeErrors - it's just that everyone is already used to this, while not many know of any alternatives. Also, there are substantial differences between languages - in some 10 lines are enough to start complaining, while in some others I've seen and worked with ~2k loc code and it was manageable.

> many powerful compiled languages have appeared thanks to PL research, that are almost as expressive as script languages.

Yes, but on the other hand, some powerful static type systems for dynamic languages also appeared, and some of them are close to Haskell in terms of expressivity. The particular example here would be Typed Racket, which has a state of the art type system which is built on top of untyped Racket. It supports incrementally moving your untyped code to the typed one (whether a module is statically or dynamically typed is decided when module is created; as you can define many (sub)modules in a single file, you can just create a typed submodule, re-export everything that's inside, and move your code there one procedure at a time). Also, it automatically adds contracts based on static types, so that they still provide some guarantees when a typed function is imported and used in untyped code. There are many interesting papers on this, and TypedRacked is really worth looking into, if you have nothing against Lisps.

> Compile time type checking does not contradict testing, like you made it sound somewhat in your message.

Damn! I actually wanted to argue exactly this: that both tools are useful and both can be used together to cover their respective weaknesses. :) Looks like I need to work harder on my writing skills...

> I'm sorry if all this sounds condescending. I am yet to decide whether I should allow myself to sound condescending as the only benefit of age :)

Well, it didn't sound condescending to me, so no prob :) But, if you'd like an advice on this: please don't try to be condescending on the basis of age alone! It's totally ok to sound condescending if you have knowledge, experience and skill to back it up... Well, at least in my book :)
Just a small one
Please don't. This response is a tiny minority.
So build the transit. It's cheaper than highways and doubly so when you factor in the private vehicle cost borne by users of those highways.
Yes, and in the same way, once the AA execs realized how much it was costing them, they started looking for some way to get out from under the agreement they made.

I had something similar happen with a national tire-and-brake chain, from whom I bought a "lifetime alignment" for one of my cars for the cost of about 2 alignments. After a few years had passed, it was always a huge rigamarole: "I don't show that in the computer; do you have your receipt paperwork?" "We don't offer lifetime alignments any more." "This store has a new manager since then and we're no longer honoring that deal." They always gave it to me after I persisted, but never easily.

Look, I'm not responsible for your shortsightedness; I bought the deal on your terms, and now you need to honor the deal.
I think that's GP's point: Instead of investing in EVs, we should be expanding public transport to reduce the dependencies on personal vehicles in the first place.
Another really good functional (as in related to how they work) explanation of monads:

http://adit.io/posts/2013-04-17-functors,_applicatives,_and_...

It's somewhat more than a monad explanation -- it covers functors and applicatives, and is somewhat haskell specific, but it was one of the guides that really clicked for me when I was trying to grok monads
How does that compare to when it was new?
But isn't this pretty obviously identifiable as a "chicken and egg" problem? You say "The electric vehicle "future" has yet to identify how to handle this", but I totally disagree. In Austin it costs $4.17 a month for unlimited charging at public charging stations, and there are a lot of them: https://austinenergy.com/ae/green-power/plug-in-austin/charg....

It's not hard to imagine that if the number of EVs goes to a very sizable share of all vehicles, instead of the low single digits that it is now, that the number of charging stations would explode.
How fast is a charge though? Gas stations can fill a tank of gas in a few minutes.
Yeah, which is why it's such a huge problem to jam cars everywhere, even places they don't belong like city centers.
How do you know bankofamerica.com is owned by the actual Bank of America? Or that someone didn't use a Cyrillic character in that URL so it looks legitimate and even has a CA-signed cert? Or that one of the more questionable CAs hasn't given someone else a cert for bankofamerica.com.

I am not saying issuing self-signed certs are great, merely that CAs do not meaningfully improve on them if domain validation is all we have, because domain validation doesn't tell you a heck of a lot.

As you said in another response, the CA system has problems. EV, at least, represents something useful when issued by a CA and solves a real problem. And the problems with EV Troy complains about are all fixable.
