zipcharge yay or nay

Seems a bit pointless dragging around one battery to charge another battery
Another thing to add to the ever expanding list of things to remember to charge
maybe I'm missing something.....

Yeah, I came across this and thought the same thing. To keep it even remotely handleable it doesn't have much capacity either. Seems like a solution in search of a problem to me.

It’s presented poorly on their page. This isn’t really an alternative to a charging station. This is a gas can for EVs. Which is very useful for that same reason. I’d rather bring this to a dead car than have to tow it. Time permitting.

It would be useful for people who don't have power to the parking site. E.g. apartment dwellers

Now that makes sense. I hadn't thought about it that way
