So I haven't had the "pleasure" of charging an electric car or hybrid yet, but it seems hella confusing.
I can get behind the different charging standards, adapters are a thing, but are you able to just pay with a card on most chargers?
Or does each and everyone require an app, an account or their own membership card?

Is there a single electric charging station on earth where I can walk in and say "20 on 6 please" and be done paying

I can't even get behind paying before filling up the tank!
In Europe we fill the car up and then pay.

Some are just a swipe, some are an account, some are an account + app, some are just an app, really need to have standards for charging the same way we do for Fuel delivery. Like yes, Costco/BJ's/Sam's Club exist for discount fuel, and Loves and Bucees, and the one with wings?, have programs with corporate diesel discounts for rigs, but like the paying for it part is standard (swipe, tap, app)
And yet people still wonder why so many people are not interested in electric cars. The cars are one thing, but infrastructure matters too. And charging at home is not always a replacement for a fast charger. However, I want electric cars to succeed. We need a way out of fossil fuels. But I also like almost any other alternative, be it e-fuels, hydrogen or anything else really.

Toyota as usual is leading the way with "I told ya so" knowing that full BEV isn't ready for primetime. They're doing the math going "not everyone can afford a $75k BEV, but 80% of people drive less than 50 miles a day, they'd really be better with a plug-in hybrid. We can make 1 BEV, 13 PHEV, or 30 classic Prius vehicles, so we'll do the 13 PHEV or 30 Prius vehicles that people will be able to afford"
We aren't gonna ditch ICE anytime soon, but we HAVE to ditch fossil fuels if humanity would like to continue existing. Hydrogen combustion is looking good, and Sodium battery tech has been progressing well recently.

Sitting at work in Berlin rn. It's boring af. Someone send help pls

I read this one Berlin newspaper that gives the impression that no one can be bored in Berlin because all the Berlin citizens do according to them is having orgies at rave parties or protesting over something — both on drugs…

We have those at home too. They are not from Berlin.

Yeah that's kinda true. Also lots of crazy people here. That's why it's boring, cause I don't want to go outside with those kinda people around

Oops. Wheelspin all the way into 3rd gear. But how do people crash their Mustangs? Traction Control makes this way too easy!

You need wider tires
But sliding is fun! Also it was wet and I'm still on relatively basic winter tires. At the end of may the car should be on Pilot Sports 4S again. 275 is absolutely fine once they're warm.
