$4.29 here, how about you?

We have an EV. It's great for what we use it for - just in-town driving to drop kids off at school and maybe run a couple errands. We don't have a fancy charging station, so it charges pretty slowly. And we don't charge it to 100% ever. I think we normally keep it at 70% max, and that says we have about 200 miles. But you aren't charging it 200 miles overnight with a Level 1 charger. If we wanted to drive it farther, we'd charge it to 80 or 90%. I guess it's bad to charge it to 100%.
For a week or so our garage lost power over the winter, so we took it to a Level 3 charger. It charged the whole thing (to that 70%) for about $20 in about 30-40 minutes.
If you're doing more driving, you might need a Level 2 charger. I'm not sure how difficult that is to install, but it'd charge faster than just the wall outlet that we use.
Oh - and most importantly, our electric bill really hasn't gone up much. So that's pretty awesome.
I think the cost of charging at home is like a third of charging at one of the public chargers. So, cost per mile for energy is pretty low for an EV. I plan to drive my current car until if falls apart, but if I live long enough to need a new one, I'd like to get an EV next time since I rarely drive more than 100 miles in a day.

Might be time to look at an EV for my next vehicle. Now if Acura only made one.

Cincinnati Reds (2026 Season Thread)

Lowe is becoming a hammer. 3 guys at. 280 or better at 3-4-5 is something we haven't had in a while. If Geno can heal up and get hot this Offense coma be lethal.
On the pitching front, Nick Lodolo should be back soon. Hopefully blister free. Then Hunter Greene will come back mid-July if the projections hold.

Also, Reds suck. Thump thinks they will lose out from here. Fire Francona. Feel like there's something else I'm missing.
