    OT: Go fill up

    Man. I am old enough to have been through enough of these sorts of things that it stresses me next to zero. I get why it is spiking, but this too will pass and prolly sooner rather than later.

I have a fast charger at home that gets me 30 MPH, the 110v about 5 mph. . Overnight charging at 110v gets me 60 miles back in...
