In Arizona I charge during the Ultra-Off Peak rate. Winter weekday days from 10am to 3pm of $0.031/kWh. I keep hearing about an EV tariff. I think you shift your ultra off-peak to night time but it may require a special meter and/or charger that hooks up to the internet. I’ve got to look into it more.

If the Big 3 can’t compete with Tesla (in EV) how are they going to take on BYD? Good thing BYD isn’t moving into North America. Yet.

Too bad there isn’t an “everything in moderation” council. Because some meat and dairy is perfectly fine. A bit of unrefined sugar… no problem. But a diet of mainly fats and refined sugars… not so good.

1964. Big Tobacco was looking at a report from the Surgeon General says cigarettes cause cancer. Weirdly, articles started turning up saying 9 out 10 doctors recommend menthol brand cigarettes to sooth your throat. A zillion other ads and articles promoting cigarettes, blaming various chemicals for cancer and lots and lots and lots of garbage. Big Tobacco has been found guilty many times in court but they are still trying to get new smokers by targeting kids with fruit and candy flavored vape products. Money makes people do evil things.

Today we are seeing warnings that Big Oil is literally killing the entire Biosphere. It’s big tobacco all over again. But unlike tobacco, we are all breathing in the smoke and we can’t quit. Worse, the industry makes 4 trillion dollars a year. That makes Tobacco look like a kids lemon-aid stand. They aren’t just going to close up shop and go away.

If you weren’t seeing FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt) articles I’d be really worried. It would mean Big Oil didn’t see a threat. But they ARE worried. And rightly so. Every EV driver is a customer lost for life. Same as when somebody quits smoking.

You know the truth. Don’t fall for the lies.
