I can't believe this didn't occur to me before but I wonder if this is what Tesla's maybe aiming for w/ the four models.
Feels tough in a market that wants a few different form factors for different use cases.
Rivian's just-a-few models are at least somewhat different but also not yet shipping

Okay so there's definitely some more interest today and that's good to see.
I am still gonna complain about 40/15 but a lot of these jumps are "doable in most 150+ mile EVs"
can you imagine being the guy charging to 100% in an oldbolt at Goffs. Great way to meet a bunch of new people.

f.ex Loves's Speedco in Kingman AZ ($800k awarded for 4 ports) is at least ten miles outside of the core of Kingman so it wouldn't super surprise me if APS needs to do a bunch of work a/or there's other site prep (building a pad or whatever)
(disclaimer again etc etc)

normal good ideas (that the second one is possible at all is insanely impressive to me, even if you have to cross into Canada to do it)

anyway this is a tiny bit of a mess but basically hydrogen is the most expensive type of car to fuel and it's not even close.
Hydrogen price is "national" (CA) average across all stations
The gas price I picked was some of the most expensive gas on US395
the electricity is same @ both

Made a joke last week about how much more it would cost to drive a Mirai than a 25-year-old pickup truck (or a brand new unreasoanble one) and it's *wild*. $53/100mi for a 12mpg gasser in the most expensive part of california (no H2 available on US395 alas
the Mirai is still worse than gas on i5

Total sidenote but this whole thing is actually a personal favorite aesthetic of mine. Hyundai went insane for their V2L pictures and like the Honda Japan pictures for the N-Van:E and N-One:E are similarly Really Hilarious
