You don’t have to like them, you just keep revising the reason you hate them when it becomes clear your reason is wrong. You’re starting from the conclusion of “I don’t like Apple” and just working backwards. That’s what moving the goalpost is.

Yes. I can, and I do.
Why do you keep moving the goalpost?
Fair, but now that they’re using USB-C that’s a temporary thing.
Also most people don’t need USB 3 speeds on their phones anyway because they don’t really plug them into anything that will take advantage of those speeds.
I realize some people do, and for those people the pro is the answer to that.
It seems like you just keep moving the goalpost to keep having a reason to hate Apple.
iPhones have USB-C now…..
I mean yeah ideally we would instead improve our infrastructure to not be so car reliant. But that’s sadly much less likely to happen and much more disruptive and costly.
At least with the infrastructure we have now and the way our cities are laid out, we should make what cars we do have as efficient and clean as possible.
Fuck cars, but we’re not gonna get totally rid of them any time soon. Might as well mitigate in the meantime as best we can.
With more J-1772 chargers around we wouldn’t need as many CCS/NACS chargers except on highways for long-distance travel. Does NACS include Tesla Destination chargers? Genuinely not sure.
It’s not the range or speeds that’s the problem, it’s charger availability and reliability.
IMO the simplest answer is L2 charging everywhere, DCFC on highways, both with reliable uptime and repair windows.
If one could charge at home, work, the grocery store, the bank, the mall, the theater or everywhere else they might run an errand from time to time, the chargers don’t need to be that fast or expensive, EV batteries don’t need to be as big, and L2 chargers are a fraction of the installation and upkeep cost of DCFC with minimal wear on battery life. This also means EVs could be lighter and cheaper with smaller batteries.
DCFC makes sense every 50 miles or so on freeways to more than cover anyone looking to road trip.
Ubiquity and SLA’s are the two biggest areas functionally holding back our infrastructure.
It annoys me to no end when you see a mall advertising EV charging and it’s like 2 plugs that work maybe half the year for their parking lot with like 1k spaces.
The problem isn’t range or speeds. It’s availability and reliability. That’s it. Not all chargers need to be DCFC, we just need more of them with reliable uptime

Haha nice! 😊
Cause that show’s old af and it’s very likely they didn’t know hahaha
