David has provided a very insightful overview of the non-technical aspects of BEV dcfc, i.e., the psychology of people. Psychology aside, I will add to that the "mathematical" aspect of taking BEV trips and that the need for very rapid dcfc charging (>100kW, recognizing that many present cars are in the 150kW-250kW range), is unnecessary. I am specifically excluding the needs of multi-unit dwellers who have challenges in their everyday charging needs, anyway. We're not talking about average US daily trips of ~35 miles which my 13-year-old i-MiEV (original EPA range 62 miles) continues to satisfy admirably on one charge. We need to accept the fact that almost all current BEVs have sufficient range to accommodate most Bay Area round-trip drives on a single charge, and thus dcfc charging speed is a moot point. I will suggest the unusual example where one's car is not charged (why not keep it at 60%?) and all of a sudden one needs to drive to the North Bay from the South Bay, and back, with no opportunity to charge at the North Bay destination (why not?). Ok, we have plenty of dcfc stations in the Bay Area and a quick 15-minute stop for a bathroom break and a cup of coffee with no waiting time will invariably be sufficient to get home. This example accounts for perhaps less than 5% of all of one's driving. Now, for longer trips, say from the Bay Area to Los Angeles or Medford, Oregon, each around 400 miles one way, I contend that inordinately-high dcfc charging speed is also not required: ? Start in the morning with a full tank. ? Drive for a couple or three hours and stop at a dcfc and plug in immediately. Go to the bathroom and grab a coffee and get back to the car and unplug it. That was just a 10-15 minute stop. ? Get back on the road and drive for a couple of more hours. ? Stop for lunch at a dcfc and have a leisurely lunch - the car will get sufficiently (>80%) charged before you've finished eating. ? Rinse and repeat in the afternoon. Bingo! 400 miles just driven. On the road, any time you stop be sure to plug the car into something. When road-tripping, the goal is to never ever have to wait for the car to charge. Hey, if nothing else, go for a walk (much needed when on the road). The last thing you want to do is sit in the car and catch up on all your smartphone activities as, if you do that, I contend that you are not waiting for the car to charge, but vice-versa! Now, if you want to drive a 750-mile day, that's also doable but requires some planning and break optimization. A nice math puzzle balancing a few more variables and often relying on keeping the car at a low SoC to maximize the amount of energy replenished in the shortest amount of time. How often do people need to do this and is this a prerequisite to purchasing a car with a super-rapid dcfc capability? Enough, as I believe it is up to us to educate non-EV owners (and, as I've found out, existing EV owners) about the realities of taking extended EV trips and adjusting charging appropriately. We need to make the paradigm-shift away from the gas-station model painless! (flame suit on) :-) Joe Siudzinski

?From: Solar Rights Alliance <info@...> Date: March 18, 2025 at 9:02:59 AM PDT Subject: Red alert: Newsom Administration pushing to break your solar contract Reply-To: info@... Hi Everyone, Governor Newsom's CPUC has proposed to break your solar contract, slash your solar credit, and slap you with a solar tax. These changes would apply to ALL solar customers who signed up for solar before April 2023 (NEM1 and NEM2). Our best chance of stopping this proposal is to make it Dead On Arrival in the State Legislature. This is a red alert. Please stop what you are doing and send your state Assemblymember and Senator a message right now. Then call their offices. Then share this message with three friends, or a thousand. The blue button below will walk you through all of these steps. Tell your state lawmakers: Don't Break the Solar Contract! More background The Newsom Administration has proposed to break two million solar contracts California requires PG&E, Edison, and SDG&E to sign an "interconnection agreement" with solar customers. For those who signed up for solar before April 2023, the contract guarantees your "net metering" plan for twenty years, which is the minimum warranty for solar panels. At the request of Governor Newsom, the CA Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is now proposing to: Break these solar contracts. Slash the credit you get for the solar energy you send back to the grid. Slap you with a Solar Tax Apply these changes to anyone who went solar before April 2023. They are lying about rooftop solar to cover their butts Rates are high because of the utilities' increased spending on poles and wires, which is how they make their profits. The Newsom Administration failed to control this monopoly utility spending, and Governor Newsom has taken $2.5 million from the utilities and their labor union. The utilities want to keep their profit-making machine going, and the Newsom Administration wants to cover up their failure to regulate the utilities. So they are making you the scapegoat for high rates by spreading lies about rooftop solar. Rooftop solar is a key solution to high rates When people make their own solar energy, it reduces the need for utilities to make and move electricity, which saves everyone money. Rooftop solar saved all ratepayers $1.5 billion in 2024 alone. This is only a proposal. Let's keep it that way by making this Dead On Arrival in the Legislature Governor Newsom could include the CPUC's proposal in his proposed budget this spring. Now is the time to ensure your state Assemblymember and Senator understand that they cannot break two million solar contracts. Instead, they should tackle the root cause of high rates, and rein in the utilities' spending and profiteering. More background Tell your state lawmakers: Don't Break the Solar Contract! Thank you for considering this request, and for all you do! -- Dave Rosenfeld, Executive Director & Cailey Underhill, Advocacy and Development Director Solar Rights Alliance 302 Washington St # 150-5062 San Diego, CA 92103 United States Please consider a donation to Solar Rights Alliance.

I have been using groups.io since the transition from Yahoo Groups, but am unable to get our EV Assn chapter, TEVA of NC, away from old habits. A recent project put exclusively on Groups.io after it floundered on LinkedIn groups may be a start. I stumbled on this EVA chapter group and see it has been active for ages. Any tips on transitioning from email + Google groups, FB, and the minimally maintained web site to groups.io? Thanks, Mark TEVA of NC Web Wrangler

Hello, This is from Tom McCalmont’s company. He is one of our long time EAASV members and supporters. His solar powered charging stations don’t need any trenching and have battery storage to charge EVs even when the sun is not shining. Avoid dealing with city permits and long approval delays. Installs in one day. Can be grid tied if desired or operated independently from the grid. You can park an EV under the solar panels and have it made in the shade while the sun charges your EV. These charging stations can be disassembled and moved to a new location so you can take your investment with you if you move rather than leaving it behind.

EV policy leadership drives investment. California boasts the fifth largest economy in the world thanks in no small part to its clean car policy leadership. Today, EVs are one of California’s biggest exports. Automakers invest in EV manufacturing in regions with strong EV policies. There are now 62 EV manufacturing facilities in the state and nearly $8 billion in EV investments have already been announced. EV investment creates good, cleantech jobs. More than a quarter of a million people in California are employed by its EV industry. These jobs pay nearly $100,000 a year, well above the almost $70,000 average. Building new chargers supports jobs in installation, maintenance and repair, planning and design, assembly, general construction, and more, and is expected to create about 160,000 more jobs across the U.S. in the next eight years. EVs save people money. EVs are almost 3 to 5 times more efficient, making every EV model in every state cheaper to own than a gas car. Without head gaskets, oil to change, or smog checks, EVs cost half as much to maintain. Households that save money by passing up the gas station spend more on goods and stimulate the local economy. California’s EV economic reality California achieved the second fastest-growing economy in the world driven by the cleantech industry, of which EVs were the largest export. California is cutting tailpipe pollution as it exponentially increases the state’s gross domestic product. EV sales are keeping pace with the ACCII. There is a major industry surplus of credits and over-compliance. Flexibilities in the ACCII allow EV sales to be lower than the 35% requirement and automakers can still comply while increasing sales over time to deliver the EVs consumers want across all vehicle classes.

Igniting Young Minds: A Teenager's Electric Porsche Dream When most 16-year-olds are scrolling through social media or hanging out with friends, Frances Farnam is in the garage, knee-deep in wires and tools, working to convert a classic 1976 Porsche 914 into an electric vehicle. But this isn’t just about creating a cool first car—it’s about sparking inspiration. Through her YouTube channel and Instagram, Frances, better known as Tinkergineering, is on a mission to show young people that they too can take charge of their future, one bolt at a time. Frances’s story began at just 11 years old, picking grapefruit in her backyard to save up for her first car. But unlike most pre-teens dreaming of a sleek ride, Frances wanted more than just a vehicle. She envisioned a project that would teach her invaluable skills, break stereotypes, and ultimately inspire others to pursue their passions fearlessly. That dream led her to a Porsche 914—an iconic car that matched her vision of classic cool while also being the perfect candidate for an electric makeover. Her quest to electrify the 914 quickly grew into something much larger than she ever anticipated, turning her into an ambassador for the electric vehicle (EV) movement and a role model for young makers everywhere.

At the recent AI Action Summit in Paris, this news bite really made me smile: French President Emmanuel Macron closed out the first day of the summit touting the wide availability of nuclear and clean energy in France, making it ideal for AI infrastructure. "Plug, baby, plug," he said — his twist on President Trump's "Drill, baby, drill." I was thinking that the EAASV (or whatever name is now preferred) might consider adopting Plug, Baby, Plug as a new slogan!
