I met a fellow the other week, who had a Tesla. He was spending the night at an AirBnB and was charging his car overnight.

He was quite proud at how he was able to siphon off electricity at various stops for free, and what a great thing having an EV was since gas was so expensive now. 12 hours of charging at 15-20 continuous amps got him about 20% of capacity, or by my figuring an additional $10-15 on the owner’s electric bill.

I wanted to slug him, but thought better of it.

CLearly then, the technology is a dead end because at least one (and probably several more) of the millions of early adopted was a richardhead. Thank God you can’t siphon gasoline!

Sounds like a guy I used to work with. Smug jerk about EVs and “free” charging.

Isn’t it just amazing how cheap someone with enough money to buy a tesla is? You would think they would be smarter.
