Sure, but my post was for today when 1.5 megawatts "instant charging" is fake news when cars can charge at only 350 kilowatts, and it takes at least 30 minutes.
$3.39 yesterday
Gas stations that I see having pay card discounts (mainly Circle K) show both prices on the sign. They alternate between the regular price and the pay card price. Usually a 10 cent per gallon difference.
Some do, some don't - like I said, in the smaller areas with older equipment, they seem to play fast and loose with NY law. IDK if I should bother to figure out who to complain to TBH.
Where did you say that? That doesn't seem to be clear from your prior post.
I just was referring to the "local places" in my first post and then added clarification that they might be a smaller area and some have older equipment. I realize it may be confusing and perhaps I should have used () instead.
Yeah 10C chargers don't exist in the US, only in China at present - and even those are very very very rare. Most BEVs in America are 400v architectures, which means charge rates top out between 150-250kw at best. 800v/900v architectures can charge up to 500kw in comparison, but again, the vast majority of public chargers out there today are only capable of supporting up to 250kw. Chargers that can charge up to 350-500kw are still very much in the minority. We won't see chargers approaching 10C charge rates here in the US any time soon since there are literally zero BEV manufacturers producing vehicles that can support anything remotely close to a 7-10C+ charge rate (1-1.5MW rate). Tesla is just now building out their MW commercial superchargers out on the west coast - but those are only for the commercial Semi model that is ramping up production later this year - and IIRC the Semi still only uses a 400v architecture. Only the Cybertruck uses a 800v architecture at present from the Tesla lineup. I really wish Tesla would convert over to a 800v architecture for the M3/MY - it would definitely cut down on the charging times when using L3 public chargers.
so buy a slate...will likely be even cheaper...and made in us.
You should check the thread on Electric Vehicles. There is a story about the likely brand of EV coming to Canada
Let's keep this going.
According to my post #209 above, I filled up my multiple vehicles at my Boston area BJ's for $2.61 per gallon on March 1. This morning on March 12, it was $3.17 per gallon, 56 cents more per gallon.
I'm so angry about "this" (and I'm not just talking about gas prices) that I'm not driving anywhere. Which is perhaps good. Because I'm now doing Boston Public Library searches for "events" and yesterday we went to a fascinating "author talk" in the North End branch given by Stephen Puleo discussing his book about Boston's Charles Sumner. "The Great Abolitionist. Charles Sumner and the Fight for a More Perfect Union" Fascinating stuff. A South Carolina US Senator, very much in favor of slavery, came to his Senate office in DC and caned him nearly to death. $1.10 for the subway to get there, $1.10 to get back home.
And then there was the Stratton Lecture in MIT's Wong Auditorium found on Eventbrite sponsored by the MIT Women's League on March 3. A discussion about cutting edge research now being done on the brain. Mind boggling. Especially with regard to how to keep your brain at peak performance throughout your life span. And a free catered lunch.
We were early. The auditorium got packed:

Again, $1.10 for the subway to get there, $1.10 to get back home.
Ice skating in the free of charge Steriti Rink in the North End. And then pick up some groceries at Star Market in the nearby TD Garden Complex. Same transportation expense.
So I think being car free has ENHANCED my life.
