I wonder what the kilowatt per hour charge is. I suspect if you have to ask, please move along.

This Massive Indoor EV Hub Is the Nicest Charging Station I've Visited
Feb. 9, 2024
With fast charging, 24/7 security, lounges and free Wi-Fi, Electrify America's flagship station in San Francisco is pretty sweet. Now build more of them!

With 20 stalls, Electrify America's new EV charging hub in San Francisco is not only its largest installation yet but also the swankiest, tempting drivers with amenities and creature comforts that should make charging their electric cars safer and less of a chore.
The large, well-lit interior comes with the additional benefit of 24/7 security with an onsite attendant. The big bay doors are open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. with the attendant letting drivers in and out outside of those hours as needed.

My buddy is a firefighter in Aurora, CO. Told me his station just went through EV-fire training. It was clear the area and let it burn out. End of training.

Basically yea let it burn, unless you have a deep part of the ocean handy to drop it in. Just make sure your in international waters first.

TotalEnergies CEO warns risk of governments underselling energy transition cost​

TotalEnergies (NYSE:TTE) CEO Patrick Pouyanne warned in an interview Monday with the Financial Times that governments are under-selling the effects of the energy transition if they fail to acknowledge publicly that the shift would lead to higher energy costs.
Pouyanne said policymakers and politicians are "naive" to think they can reduce oil and gas production before securing sufficient reliable renewable energy resources to take its place, especially given continued growth in global energy demand.
"The pace of transition will not be the same everywhere," Pouyanne said, adding that African countries cannot be asked to avoid developing energy resources after "we have developed their resources for our own comfort for 20 years."
The CEO was adamant in the interview that TotalEnergies (TTE) would not invest in wind and solar projects just to reduce emissions, as he sees power as an increasingly profitable opportunity, believing the energy transition will result in permanently elevated electricity prices.
"I know that there is a theory which says renewables are cheaper, so it will be a lower price," Pouyanne told FT, but "we don't think so, because a system where you [have] more renewable intermittency is less efficient... so we think it's an interesting field to invest in."

Ain't no one charging an EV in Victoria AU right now. Wonder if Walz in MN is paying attention. The consequences are a little more severe at -30F.

Banks of FM200 I would imagine. Though that might be getting phased out for something new… they change the shit like you’d change your undieroos.

Thermoking is definitely an all electric refrigerated unit for box trucks. 40v

They say it’s pairing to an all electric truck


Weird part .. Thermoking wouldn’t tell me the manufacturer of the truck … or the range …

Ford has a patent for an additional bed mounted range extender for the F150. Is that what you are referring to?

No. Thermoking makes reefers for refrigerated trucks
