It's genuinely frustrating how many people are being sold EVs without being educated on ownership and best practices.
So, it's time for our semi-regular topic of winter driving and EVs - this time, how to make sure you stay efficient in winter:

It was epic.

SCOTUS has opted to reject emergency petitions from multiple U.S. Republican-controlled states and fossil fuel companies to block the EPA from implementing Methane Control Rules!
Not sure if @chrisgeidner is planning anything (His takes are awesome) - but good news for once from SCOUTS for those who want a cleaner, greener, safer, smarter and more equitable future!

It’s day two of a two day quick trip to LA to film some stuff.
We covered what we needed to yesterday, and got badly sunburnt. Today, we film a first drive review of the #SilveradoEV_WT that GM doesn’t have on its press fleet.
I’ve already worked 30 hours this week, and it’s 5:30am on a Wednesday.
People accuse us of begging, but the rental cost $360. So you know, if you’d like us to do more things like this >>> Patreon.com/transportevolved.

A friend (who I tried to help out yesterday) ended up completely draining his battery pack in his EV because not one, not two, but THREE Tesla owners were parked in the EV charging spaces of the parking lot they were in.
I've witnessed it too at other PDX parking lots.
It's ALWAYS THE F’ING TESLA DRIVERS.

Because we're a media organization (at least from a company perspective), we have to pay through_the_nose for liability isnurance (which is usually about $4,200 a year).
Then we have to pay for insuring our camera gear too, which is usually another $4,000.
Add that on top of a month where everyone gets paid three times and oft.
There goes our savings!

I'd really love your help helping one of my team out of a really #shittysituation.
Back at the height of the #COVID crisis, their car was written off after a hit-and-run. One of the few cars they could get at the time which made sense was a #2012ChevroletVolt.
That car, which still has more than $10,000 on it in outstanding finance, is now dead after a $10 part failed (but which the dealership is refusing to replace and instead wants to replace an entire module within the battery pack for $6,000+.
They can't afford to repair the car, and they certainly can't walk away from the car payment without getting into a really bad place. They've been saving up for their wedding, but in this climate, they're getting nowhere fast.
Please consider helping them out. They're a good bean. https://gofund.me/72cf9f23
And in case you are curious, the person I'm talking about is @BeanieCam, my #videographer at @show who works above and beyond and is responsible for some of this AMAZING #videography.

Can we please stop pretending that #Uber and #lyft and other #RideSharing platforms are AFFORDABLE?
They're not. They're equitable. They're not universally available. You can't BUY an Uber with cash. You can't get an UberPass.
You can't jump on an Uber for the same price at 12 am as you can at 6pm.
Ride Share is not equitable. It's another way for wealthier citizens to get around, and in its most dire form, a tax on our more vunlerable citizens who don't have a car, whose bus just failed to turn up, and who need to get to work or they'll be fired.
