    EA fluff piece - I could not believe what I was reading…

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/company-built-biggest-ev-direct-150000684.html sooo much to discuss from this article…there were _ONLY_ 50 kW fast charging stations in 2018???? What? Ignoring the 1000's of superchargers available even then… if this is EA's focus we're doomed.

    interesting contrast…Lucid air inventory "deals"

    I'm under the impression in North America you still have to wait to get a Taycan and sales are good… but apparently they are not so much for Lucid (which is a car I simply don't understand or desire) they are having a sale - 1% financing if you'll purchase an inventory model…...

    https://electrek.co/2023/06/08/gm-announces-adopt-tesla-nacs-connector/ June 22 Update: evidence is mounting that this is purely a physical design change and we are likely to continue using CCS protocols via the improved NACS connector/cables. non-Tesla's will remain CCS based EV's but with a...

    It's official - Porsche finally admits North American Taycan's have 11 kW onboard charger
