I've seen public street chargers in Europe -- there was row of 20 or so near a train station in suburban Oslo (saw it from the train -- strategically placed for people taking the train downtown to charge for a bit), and several single/double stations in Paris and Lisbon sprinkled in with other street parking. In the US, I know that LA has added chargers to several hundred street light posts.

I mean I can take the Tesla, it's fine--the Supercharger in Egg Harbor is pretty convenient (and next to a liquor and grocery store!).
This was just me hypothesizing on what it would be like to take a Mach E or a Taycan or a Lightning on that same trip. |

Did I mention I might trade the 3 on a Mach E? Thought crossed my mind, especially with used car values up and the $7500 tax credit still applicable for Ford. I might go test drive one this weekend.

I had the same thought about the Mach E, though I think I'd want to wait for the GT to be widely available. I keep thinking about the Taycan, but then I keep coming back to being able to buy a Mach E AND a Bronco for not much more and I decide...meh. |

I followed a Mach E the other day... It has an ass that makes Teslas look good.

I saw one the other day. The rear is a bit strange, but overall I did not think it looked bad. Just odd.
