Well, if you have a driveway, that is where you will charge it. A regular 110V outlet will charge your car at about 5 miles an hour: if you average less than 70 miles a day, and can leave the car sit there for 14 hours a day, you will not need to know where to charge – it all happens in your driveway/garage, with no additional home improvements.
If you need more daily range, or just want the option, you can get a 220V supply put in and charge about 4 times as fast. At home. What you need to know is how to plug the ends of the cable in (it will not let you do that incorrectly), that covers the “how”, at home covers the “where”, and your phone can help you on the rare occasions when you need to find a place away from home to charge.
My oldest sister has an EV and generally likes it. Most of my driving is my daily commute (about 20 minutes each way) and errands around town, so I have no particular objection to driving an EV myself, but haven’t yet needed to do so. I picked the Mercedes because, y’know, it’s a Mercedes.
Never been knocked unconscious by a blow to the head, fortunately, although I’ve been in boring meetings where I might actually’ve welcomed it.
Lamb roast with mint apple jelly? Yes, please!
Re the clams: the whole phrase is “happy as a clam at high tide”
I’m sure that clams are about as happy as they are capable of being when snug in their home and no worries of random attacks
Come to think about it. I may have briefly lost consciousness when I was in a head-on last December and the air bag went off. I know I was confused as hell for several seconds.
I’ve not been knocked unconscious, per se – I was on my feet and walking around – but there’s a five-minute gap in my memory. It was at the end of high school PE and I’d also had the wind knocked out of me. I remember being picked up and set on my feet by a couple gym teachers as I tried to get my diaphragm working again, then nuthin’ until I’m aware I’m in the locker room shower.
I play the multi-state progressive lotteries when the annuity amount is greater than the odds against winning. I tell myself in the long run I’d be money ahead.

I put both ketchup and mustard on my hot dogs. Can’t see how to answer that poll question.
Genie voting interference.
I voted for Chris Christie, as arguably the least of the evils. He’s very much a ‘traditional’ corrupt Republican, but I see no evidence he wants to break the system that keeps him in a place of reasonable power, and he’s at least less likely than most to consider pardoning Trump.
But if the Genie reconsiders, I’ll leave it to the vote. In the original scenario someone is going to the make the choice, no matter what. In the second, I have the choice of nullifying everyone else’s choices, or leaving it to the will of the voters. And if I making the choice, even for (what seems to be good reasons) I’m not nearly so different from those who wished to overturn the election.
I do have a few tiny romantic ideals left to me it seems. Both in that I don’t wish to become what I hate, and that just maaaaaybe we can turn the corner on the most recent authoritarian trends.
I followed much the same rationale for letting the people have free will to decide. Nothing is guaranteed here, but Trump has been beaten before and I really can’t see what he’s done since 2020 to increase his appeal to the general public. This game is very high stakes, but let the chips fall where they may, I say.
I’m more worried about DeSantis getting elected than I am about Trump. I feel DeSantis has a realistic chance while I feel Trump doesn’t.
I chose Pence as my Genie-appointed President. I don’t like Pence’s principles but I feel he at least has some principles. I feel there are lines Pence wouldn’t cross. And as a bonus, the MAGA’s hate Pence so they’d have no influence in a Pence administration.
I’d be fine leaving it up to the voters if the Republicans were willing to do the same.
I’m picking Nikki Haley, she seems the most reasonable/competent. Like a female version of Mitt Romney.
Agreed with @Little_Nemo that DeSantis is a lot more troubling in a lot of ways than Trump, but is as things stand, it won’t be DeSantis unless Trump keels over dead, and maybe even not then. And much like @Cardigan, I think Trump is his own worst enemy, utterly incapable of winning over anyone who wasn’t going to vote for him or any R over D no matter what. Again, I’ll roll the dice on Biden v Trump, but would worry a lot more over any other matchup.
As for this,
Yeah, you and me both. 
There are several names on that list of Republicans that I know nothing about. Will the genie give me time to research them, or is (s)he demanding an immediate answer?
Yup. Which is why I haven’t voted yet. And might not do so. (If they become serious contenders, I expect I’ll find out more about them eventually; but the poll page will have moved on by then.)
Wasn’t trying to bullshit anybody. I do agree with you that the infrastructure is mostly keeping up with demand as EV use grows, and I hope it will continue to do so.
But if every internal-combustion vehicle were magically replaced by an EV tomorrow, there simply wouldn’t be enough power to go around. And in the real world, there doesn’t need to be just yet.
I also believe that it’s quite possible for power demand to eventually outstrip supply if the Powers That Be don’t keep their eyes on the big picture, and therefore there is some danger in trying to force the issue.
Tah - May - Toe, Tah - Ma - Toe. Either gets pronounced differently depending on how I am using it.
I say either ee-ther or eye-ther. Uh-ther sounds like something other to me. 
Same for me. I don’t think I plan which to use. It just comes out, and it’s sometimes ee-ther and sometimes eye-ther.
Sorry, I did not mean to level an accusation. I just see so much argh going on, and it needs to be fought, diligently. Examples: the “Keep America Beautiful” thing was an industry-based org that wanted us to look at those terrible litterbug people (who would not have so much trash to litter with if industry had to be held accountable for the crap they produce in the first place). Or the thing I read recently from Barbara Ehrenreich (yeah, it was old, she is not around anymore) that suggested the whole self-help/self-improvement thing was promoted by a cabal that wanted to divert focus off all the layoffs at the time (valid point? maybe, maybe paranoia).
When I hear the various naysaying surrounding EVs, it sounds like diversionary BS to me. Yes, going electric will be difficult, and people will hate having to always charge at home instead of stopping at a gas station from time to time (oh, wait, no, people are really, really going to like rarely having to stop for fuel), but just about everything will be better after all the effort. Harping on “we’re not ready!” just needs to stop.
