“Welcome to Town, USA! Please stay seated till the aircraft has parked at the gate, the temperature outside is 69 Freedom Degrees, the local time is 6:19 PM so good luck leaving the airport with any amount of haste and no there isn’t an air-rail link, we thank you for flying with us, enjoy spending almost as much time in traffic as you did on the plane!”

    The trick with EVs while traveling is using a charger that’s >50kwh and having a working level 2 charger where you’re staying for the night. If you’re doing anything else it’s a miserable experience. Electrify America was a great charging experience on my roadtrip from Texas to California and back over the summer, everything else was so slow or just didn’t work, luckily they have them spaced out along all the major interstates where you just stop at the EA stops and charge to 80% or so and keep going. Plugshare is a good site to check if you’re off the major interstates.

      Not just car rentals, it feels like the whole travel industry has no idea what a fucking reservation is. Every other time I fly they’re asking for people to give up seats because they “overbooked”.

      Just a tiny amount of common sense legislation would make reservations actually fucking work, but it’ll never happen because all the travel companies have to do is spend like $50k to bribe lobby half of congress and then make millions continuing on with their shitty practices
