A 1930’s Remington mechanical typewriter. My dad used it regularly until he passed away, it still works perfectly and I’ve got a whole box of ribbons for it.

I didn’t read the article because the way the states are arranged in that graphic makes me FURIOUS

Yes. I’m in my mid 40’s, in the Midwest US. I drove manuals almost exclusively from when I was a teen until last year, when I bought an EV.

Even if the power load on the grid was doable, heat dissipation is also a huge problem. Current DC fast chargers max out at 350 kW (in theory, my car supports charging at that rate but the best I’ve seen in real life is around 190kW), and the liquid-cooled cables are already heavy/bulky enough to give some women and older folks a hard time. I can’t imagine a practical way to handle 2 or 3 times the current without making the cables something like 6 inches in diameter and weighing a couple hundred pounds.

I’ve been sober since February 2018, after my dad passed away. My drinking had been increasing since my marriage ended a couple years before that, and I knew it was starting to get out of hand, but it took my dad’s death to give me the motivation I needed to stop. He was a lifelong drinker, and I realized that’s just not what I want for myself. Good luck to you on your journey, OP.
