'Charge Rage' – electric car owners get angry after having vehicles unplugged

I bow to your greatness...

[NFHale]

An “Ohmmage” you might say.... “Resistance” is futile...

(And this, note, is WITHOUT bourbon, yet...)

[Repeat Offender]

Man, you’re just using all the buzz words. More power to ya. ;)

[SZonian]

My previous admittance has failed to conduct the proper signal...my circuits are about to blow...they’re overloading...my capacitance for further puns has reached the brownout stage...

[NFHale]

“...More power to ya. ;)...”

And I’m not even “juiced” yet...

That’s funny because last weekend I saw an electric vehicle plugged in at the mall and was wondering why someone doesn’t steal the inverter unit that connects the car to the outlet. It looked like a fairly expensive unit and I’m sure some unscrupulous cretin could sell it on Craig’s List for enough money to get their drug(s) of choice. And it definitely looked like it belonged with the car, not the charging station. Your idea for a locking system could be a big winner.

Then I’ll see you in the month of....

here it comes...

Joule-ly...

(yeah... I know... they can’t ALL be electrifying...)

The local dealer is advertising ‘13 volts for $30 k

[BfloGuy]

it should be based on how close you are, your level of power, basically your level of need

Ah, the eternal liberal rallying cry. Need!

[NFHale]

Nice site!

I feel like I’m back in Basic Electrical/Electronics 101...

[SZonian]

I just couldn’t keep my characteristic angle at the same level as yours...too much impedance...so I figured I’d attempt to insulate myself and enhance the conductivity of the discussion by discharging a source all could use...

[NFHale]

This was really funny, folks... thank you!

However... dinner must be made, bellies filled, and then Bourbon and perhaps a movie (most probably “The Return Of the King” - the third installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy).

Hale out... Ya’ll have a GREAT night!

[NFHale]

Capacitance is ALWAYS the key!!!

[Cyber Liberty]

Wasn’t nearly as good as yours.

Those notes could be construed as a form of racism if they are written in cursive.

When something is given away for free, the demand may end up exceeding the supply. Perhaps they should charge people for charging their cars.

Baby you can charge my car, yes I’m driving not too far, baby you can charge my car, and maybe I’ll love you..
Beep beep, Freep Freep yeh.

LOL could be a hit song these days. Maybe Justin Bieber could dump his Lambo for a Tesla and record it.
