A business model based upon a high level of honor will never work in a society which tolerates crime.

Electrify America now has cameras at about 100 of its stations and is deploying speakers that will essentially holler at would-be thieves.

Maybe EA will also write a strongly worded letter.

Bob Dylan tried to warn us about this decades ago. Shame the EV folks weren’t listening.

This is really too funny.
  1. Democrats believe deeply in the "existential threat" of global warming (or cooling or whatever). This is their #1 bug-a-boo threat.
  2. Democrats believe we must electrify everything to solve the #1 threat.
  3. Democrats love criminals. They refuse to press charges, let them go through the revolving justice door, let them out of prison, and won't build prisons.
  4. Because Democrats love criminals, crime goes way up. But, to get elected, Democrats must get crime numbers down. So they decriminalize theft and shoplifting.
  5. Democrats love open borders and illegal drugs like fentanyl, so they let drugs flood the country.
  6. As a result, the Democrat-fueled criminal druggie class grows and grows and grows.
  7. The Democrat-supported druggie criminal class loves to steal copper for their next fix.
  8. So the Democrat-supported criminals steal the copper from EV chargers, thus making global warming (or cooling or whatever) destroy all mankind.
What's a good Democrat do for an encore?

Much of what DC and Silicon Valley elites imagine and do makes sense in “their” culture and society, but not in America’s real culture and society

How many Teslas with Harris stickers are lined up to a useless charger?

Eventually EV drivers will have to provide their own cables, as there is no practical way to stop thieves attacking such easy targets.

I understand that RVs come with their own power cord, with adapters and such, which one just plugs into an appropriate outlet to charge a battery. Why don’t EV car manufacturers do this?
