The ABRP app that I'm using to route plan asks me this question every time I charge, so I've become more aware of it on this trip. The Flying J/EVgo chargers are pull through and will accommodate a trailer. Maybe prefer those in whatever routing app you use?

I love this thing! I've had mine since 2018 and I'm starting to consider upgrades, but none of the new crop of electric vehicles is nearly as compelling as this.

I have the 94 Amp hour BEV, without the gas range extender. On a good day I have 130 miles of range if I don't take it on the interstate. At 75mph, like Texas and New Mexico, I have about 90 miles.

I'm currently driving my BMW i3 from Cincinnati Ohio to Flagstaff Arizona (posting this from Albuquerque). This was impossible only a year or so ago. There have been a couple of times when I was nervous about distances between chargers, but the, 'A Better Route Planner', app makes it foolproof. Especially if you connect it to your OBD2 port.

I'm familiar with chinampas, but have never seen a cutaway showing the floating. How is that done? Gases from the breakdown of biological matter?

Hamcus will legit sell you this very outfit for like $5000.

As someone who uses the arc thrower and blitzer a lot, this is good to know...

I drive an i3 and have since 2018. I recently starting looking to see if there is a compelling upgrade from it and....there just isn't. Hell, I would just buy an updated i3 with slightly more range and acceleration and Android Auto. I would pay upwards of $50k for that... BMW? Are you hearing me?!?

I subscribed to this community because of this post. I'm very interested in which rules would actually promote an online forum where people can express their views most effectively. I've recently been reading about the Paradox of Tolerance in online discussion forums and I'm super interested in that phenomenon, but you raise another interesting question. Are down votes useful information? Is there some other voting method that would better encourage actual dialog?

Having spent a lot of time in China, hot pot and questionable electronics go hand-in-hand! You have really nailed the authentic experience here!

In the immortal words of Crow T. Robot from MST3K:

I calculated the odds of this succeeding versus the odds I was doing something incredibly stupid... and I went ahead anyway.
