Yes, but it's super slow. A "washer/dryer" outlet (240 volt) would allow for faster charging.

Many BEVs are starting out at 250+ mile range now (thinking of the Niro and Kona EVs, which, sadly, aren't available in every U.S. state). The Bolt has a 259-mile range - you can actually buy one for around $21k if you go through Costco and follow a couple steps. Volkswagen is the only serious player on range in terms of challenging Tesla, if their stated plans come to fruition in the next 5 years. Teslas notoriously underperform their EPA stated range in any "real world" testing (by Edmunds, Car & Driver, etc.) whereas the Porsche Taycan (a VW brand) overperforms. VW is expecting to deliver 100k of its ID.4s this year, which is a small crossover in the same space as the Model Y. VW is beating Tesla on price, and by quite a bit if you factor in tax credits. Its estimated range is 250 miles, but the trend has been for VW to understate its ranges to avoid warranty issues. An ID.4 may very well have a "real world" range close to a Model Y. As the charging infrastructure gets built out (VW it looks like is partnering with Electrify America to compete with Tesla's Supercharger Network), I think the bigger issue becomes how to charge it at home. Taking trips and charging it on the road is becoming much easier, not just for people who drive a Tesla. But depending on which study you believe, some 30-40% of Americans don't have a garage at their home/apartment. A lot of the benefit of an EV is being able to charge it overnight. That's going to be a lot of work to convert apartment/condo complexes into making space for EV chargers.

2022 U.S. Senate Race
On the Dem side I think it'll be Ryan, Acton, and Nan Whaley. On the R side, I think Steve Stivers has the most money on hand from his '20 campaign, so .... I guess he'd be the front runner there?

What is a "net benefit," though? This is basically just legalized gambling...and gambling is legal in many places. So should we place restrictions on (or outlaw entirely) gambling? Casinos? Sports? Horse races? Etc. There is risk in all of them. In theory, these people read through the disclosures before placing their trades.- Personal Finance / Investing Thread
What's the issue? They flipped the strategy against the hedge funds who had accumulated a 100+% short position. Don't take the short position if you're not ready for the risk.- Personal Finance / Investing Thread
