  1. No one claimed there was.

  2. ​ @KyrieFortune  you don't see a tiny difference between selling cans of beer which customers tend to, you know, take with them, and a bar where you tend to drink your alcohol... at the bar? You know, in regards to... drunk driving?

  3. ​ @germanogirardelli  did you misunderstand their point deliberately? If you're at an EV charger, you're there to charge your car, which you kinda need to regularly do if you own an electric car. The OP is saying that if there's a cafe at the charging station, you can relax and have a coffee while your car charges. That's not driving for a cup of coffee, it's driving to charge your car. This isn't hard.

  4.  @peterbelanger4094  "You couldn't have your cities with the support of the vehicle driving rural people you look down your noses at. Try the other way around. The cities are the engines of societies. Suburbs bring in far less tax money per capita. Not Just Bikes has some excellent videos on how cities subsidize suburbia.

  5. The nirvanna fallacy people suddenly experience when talking about green solutions is really fascinating. The moment we're talking about environmentalist innovations, they have to be 100% perfect in every single way or they're hopeless and we should stick with what we have. I suppose the problems with the products we have are so ingrained in us we don't care about them anymore. It's not a question of electric cars vs. no cars, it's electric cars vs. combustion engines. When considering the pros and cons of both, electric obviously comes out on top. I'd rather have a small number of kids forced to do slave labour than millions of kids worldwide getting respiratory diseases and cancer from pollution from cars, oil fields, and refineries. I'd rather have batteries you can remove from the car and store or recycle than fuel you have to constantly refill, and which is emitted as Co2 and exhaust into the atmosphere. I'd rather be reducing Co2 emissions than contributing towards the climate crisis. Btw, even when they get their power from fossil fuels, electric cars still come out on top in the long-run, emission-wise.

  6. Genius.

  7. I sense a business possibility in offering customers a kind of takeway service where you order goods online, and the service station attendants collect it from the shelves and put it in your car so they're driven home with you. You'd have to get around the hurdle of the car being locked, of course, but maybe if the cars had the ability to be remotely unlocked by their owner. They already have cameras, so it'd be a simple matter of unlocking the door when they see the attendant with the groceries.
