Mostly because I’m not the most competent techie, I’ve been using VLC between my PC and iPhone, for moving “books” around on devices that are very out of date.
How many feet of extension cord will a home owners association let be seen drug out on the front lawn?
What if there are no exterior outlets? You going to leave a window open with an extension cord fed through it? Maybe fine if you live somewhere without neighbors… probably a good way to get robbed otherwise.
What is the exterior outlets were shittily installed and are aren’t rated for whatever your particular flavor of electric vehicle you purchased?
Live in an apartment complex? Not on the ground floor? You gonna bust out somebody’s window to get to their outlet?
Well… the hybrid car thing makes sense. How many places are built to have charging stations everywhere you’d park your hybrid car?
If you mange to afford buying/leasing/renting a hybrid car, that doesn’t mean you can afford to build out a charging station at your own home. Hell, you may not even be allowed to modify your existing property even if you could afford it.
So you wind up driving an electric car that is kept charged by a lawnmower engine burning gas instead of driving an electric car, charged from the power grid, with an emergency gas powered generator to increase your range or compensate for when the batteries’ capacity degrades.
