Maybe if they integrate with a parking meter
I think there is a whole new business opportunity with all these new evs on the road. a mobile charging stations. could get big trucks with electric generator that are charged up that go around giving stranded evs a charge to get to their next stop. $100
Hook up one of these diesel generators to your Tesla and charge other EVs.

I hope this is not the same power source for Elon's new house in Texas.Hook up one of these diesel generators to your Tesla and charge other EVs.

Elon Musk is on a mission to sell all of his houses, and the last one - a beautiful mansion in San Francisco - has hit the market for £37.5 million dollars. Take a look around and find out the cosmic reason he's decided to be homeless...

It could be. LOL. He is moving to Mars, so he does not need a big house.I hope this is not the same power source for Elon's new house in Texas.

Maybe Starlink was him just playing the long-game so he could continue shitposting on Twitter from Mars
I thought I remember reading that certain city wants to integrate EV charging with light poles.
It's already done in some cities, including parts of London.
UK’s First Residential Avenue Fully Converted To Lamppost Charging
Siemens has successfully converted 24 lampposts into EV charge points using existing city infrastructure.

More broadly, to keep the installation cost down you want:
- existing power
- existing urban furniture on which you can mount the EVSE
Light posts (lampposts) are excellent locations.

I charged off a light pole in Broomfield at a Residence Inn. Lol.
Who knows the real story, but the media is painting a picture of Manchin potentially softening. From the linked article:
Manchin told reporters after the call he and Biden had “a nice conversation” and that he is “engaged” with the president.
He said he and Biden “were just talking” about “different iterations” of the legislation.
Asked if the $2 trillion bill could pass by Christmas, Manchin replied, “Anything is possible.”
He declined to say how long the call lasted or what he and the president discussed specifically, and his office released a statement describing the conversation as “productive.”
“They will continue to talk over the coming days,” it said.
Asked Monday evening if enough progress had been made for him to vote on a motion to proceed to the bill, Manchin replied, “That’s what we’re talking” about.

Senate Finance Committee has released updated text. EV credit starts on page 508. It looks like this version will be reviewed by the Parliamentarian but is subject to further changes. It still includes the union bonus which will likely get cut. Language still shows effective date of Jan 1. No changes to income or MSRP caps.
There was speculation from one relatively solid mainstream outlet that as a measure to pacify Manchin the $4,500 US/union built add on could get shifted to simply “US-built” before it is shipped to House. Which would mean $12,500 for teslas qualifying for a credit.
So that is now at one extreme end of possibilities. I’m thinking the other end -- that Manchin sinks it entirely en route to switching parties -- is much more likely.
Looks like the income caps have been reduced from the initial drafts?

Yes. Looks like $250k single, $500k joint
Yes the initial drafts were higher. The final House version was $250k/$500k - same as the Senate Finance Committee draft.

Should drop to 125/250 and impose further msrp caps.
OK, We know your opinion so can you just stop. Let’s deal with facts as we learn them.
Good news and should have been this way all along.
