> [...] due to some dipshit blonde not paying attention [...] Wow, instantly stopped reading after this. I can't comprehend how someone would even remotely have the courage writing such in a public posting.
Elsewhere in the site he publishes her name and address.
Blog posts without dates on them are super frustrating. If this was written today I would have a litany of complaints about the details around EV charging. If this was written 5 years ago they might have a little more leeway. Here's one: > trying to force everyone to download janky apps just to play is disingenuous and short-sighted The biggest networks do not require apps to use their chargers (excluding Tesla, who…

But they're certainly not obvious.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
It's possible, but my anecdata is that the four people who have run into the back of my car in the past ten years have all been middle-aged men distracted by phones. Two Audis (one of them written off to the point it had to be lifted onto the breakdown truck with a Hiab), one Hyundai of some sort, and one bicycle. The cyclist was the only one I felt in any way sorry for, because he did actually hurt himself pretty ba…
wow, I can't believe you called the middle age men who hit your car middle aged men instead of just people. Stop adding more detail to your stories!!!
So I can slag off others in my demographic all I want. Yeah, male white middle-aged crabbit auld bastard privilege, if you like.

You could not, or you did not want to? There is a difference.

In the USA, I've had several charging stations where the CC terminal acts like it works, but it won't actually charge the vehicle. However if you use the App, the charger works. This is in late 2025 and 2026, so it's better, but the non-app route is not fully fleshed out yet. My worst experience was a charger near Yosemite ran by the local power utility. They required you use a website to turn the charger on, and the…

Even two years ago the plethora of apps I needed was a frustrating experience. (Daily Driving a Ford E-Transit) I've had it since December 2023 and things have only gotten mildly better. Today in 2026 Having tesla support added and the free adapter helps, but without the app you never know which one you're pulling up to is currently disabled. Ford's plug & charge service seems to rarely work except at tesla spots, so…

Tesla and ChargePoint are the only ones that require an app. For those, my car's app can activate them if I don't want to download them.
Of course, I'm referring to the United States, I have not done a lot of charging in Canada.
