I rented this Chevy Equinox EV during a work trip. Unfortunately, it has the CCS plug and the chargers at my hotel are only NACS.
I decided to use a Level 2 ChargePoint charger down the street. My plan was to plug in and let it charge overnight.
I scanned to start the charge using the ChargePoint pass on my iPhone wallet.
I didn’t check the fee until just now when I was looking to make sure the Equinox was still charging since the latch on the charger is broken.
The Energy Rate is $1.50/hr for electrons while the Station Rate for the first 4 hours is $0.00.
It’s a ~6.6kW charger so I’ll get about 24kWh for $6.00. After the first four hours, the Station Rate jumps to $10.00/hr.
You’ve got to be kidding me. What a scam. I’ll be unplugging just before the 4hrs expires.

@NiohBerg It is a pyramid, like Egypt, the same people that killed Charlie Kirk, the one Candace Owens is investigating. These Iranian leaders must have been involved and are now being silenced by the Israelis who murdered Charlie. 🤡 @RealCandaceO I found your next scoop.

@Tablesalt13 Its like a group project in School, the USA, Isreal and Middle East doing all the work, now the others that things have cooled down and having cried, This isn't our war, are now on board. Talk about hopping on for the Free ride.

@pagerdude @welchmeyer Not to mention the small businesses who we provide cheaper shipping and handling for anything they could send to anyone in the country. That’s why Amazon, UPS, and for a while FedEx was giving us stuff to deliver for them as a last-mile option.

Just two years after telling rich Republicans to jump on a bus and head to Florida, NY Gov Kathy Hochul begs rich taxpayers who are in Florida to come back to New York so they can pay more taxes.
Hochul says she needs "high net worth" people to cut her checks to fund New York's social programs.
"I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we wanna have in our state right now."
"...Cut me the checks... The first step should be to go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home, because our tax base has been eroded."

@DanielDiMartino In 2 months Diosdado is out. It is part of the strategy to slowly get rid of the old leadership to make way for a new democratic elected group with Delcy being the last out the door when, fingers crossed, Fair elections happen.

You’d have to be an absolute fucking moron to invest in Trevor Milton’s new company
You’d have to be an even bigger moron to ride in his “autonomous jet”
Sheel Mohnot@pitdesi
LOL Trevor Milton is raising $1B at a $4B valuation for an autonomous jet (consumer and military), says the most wealthy people in the world say “we can trust you now” because of the Trump pardon, and Trump affiliates are helping him. Good luck! wsj.com/business/trevo…

@misfitpatriot_ Low level soldiers can come endlessly. They can only maintain temporary control when to start at the top and save lots more lives.

That’s because it’s the first war where Trump was in charge of who dies first.
Satyaki Roy@Satyaki_R
Have you noticed something? Iran is the only country where the top people die first in war. In every other country the leaders and generals sit in luxury and send jawans to slaughter.

@StevenCheung47 @RoadMN With how influential and superior they act I'm struggling to find The View in the top ten let alone the list entirely.

CNN continues to get absolutely OBLITERATED in the ratings.
It’s not even close.

@ConceptualJames He is talking about our future energy and gas infrastructure within Iran's borders.

This is going to go really well for them. Watch.
BRICS News@BRICSinfo
JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran says US-Israeli energy and gas infrastructure will be burned to "ashes."

@Old_SchoolEddie Have you not been paying attention. The have been told now is not the time.

@EricLDaugh If the Senate fails to pass Voter ID through the Save America Act, but California passes its own voter ID, it will be the final nail in the trust coffin of our "accountable to voter" legislators.
English

🚨 JUST IN: Senate Leader John Thune says the problem with passing the SAVE America Act is NOT his leadership being an issue — it's "math"
"To get around 60 vote threshold, you need to nuke the filibuster, and there aren't the votes for that...it's a math issue, it isn't whether I want it or a question of leadership!"
"You have 53 Senate Republicans with their own views."
FACT: DEMOCRATS WILL NUKE IT ANYWAY, as SOON as they take power!

This is an incredible analysis. I think it hits spot on in a lot of regards and hope that even if not fully intended, the administration seizes upon some of the advantages it will get from the Strait being closed. I love the European narrative of "This is not our war" it only give Trump more ability to say that about Ukraine, while at the same time hurting Russia by knocking out allies.

But PLEASE go look at the evidence. Go formulate your own hypothesis. Test yours. Test mine.
This is an X thread abaout a hypothesis written by an America ship captain who supports Trump.... not the ground truth.
An American captain with an adgenda: getting Europe to wake up to the growing importance of 🇺🇸 maritime interests.

Let's unpack this..
What if the White House has no intention of reopening the Strait of Hormuz?
What if this war is really about ships & tariffs?
I had a long discussion with senior DOE official yesterday on background. I can’t share any details but it’s clear everyone’s Strait of Hormuz calculus is wrong.
We need to go back to the drawing boards.
That's it. That's the tweet. Now a hypothetical 🧵 with my personal thoughts.
