Don't look away.

Look at what the Russians did.

Share these pictures.

Especially with Russians who think this is all wonderful.

And government officials who worry about gas prices.

Never again is just a pitiful slogan for countries doing nothing.

@lehtimaeki @Plugsurfing Happy to talk if you'd like to understand more about the context of this app update and why we made some of the choices that we did.

[William Gill @williamgill]

@lehtimaeki @Plugsurfing Hey, thanks for the feedback. Many valid points. At Plugsurfing we do care a lot about the EV driver experience. Our whole mission is about making EV charging easy.

At the same time, we're also just human beings, dealing with constraints, making tradeoffs.

[William Gill @williamgill]

Feedback can be given with love and kindness, or with arrogance and disrespect.

It's a choice that doesn't impact the validity or urgency of the feedback, but does impact a lot the credibility and humanity of the feedback giver.

Happy Tuesday everyone! Glad to announce we are now active in The Baltics😎. Big thanks to our partners @CSDD_LV, @Latvenergo and others for making this possible! Any trips planned to Estonia, Latvia or Lithuania?

ie they have taken a PHEV as a company lease car to get the tax benefits, but never charged it once… Sad!

[William Gill @williamgill]

If you're considering getting a plug-in hybrid vehicle because it's cleaner or greener, remember this:
Unless you are actually able to charge it every day, what you have is essentially a heavier than normal ICE car with a smaller petrol tank and worse fuel economy.

[William Gill @williamgill]

I heard a story recently that some incredible number of PHEVs are being returned to leasing companies at the end of a lease with the charging cable still in the original packaging…

[William Gill @williamgill]

The last sentence in yesterday's @stratechery article about Apple really nailed it:

"the folks fueled by “big ambitions and big dreams” are being crushed by the company that claims inspiration from those very words"

[William Gill @williamgill]

If we needed any more proof that Elon Musk just lives in the future:
Tesla was awarded a patent for LASER windscreen wipers.

LASERS.

It's been clear that electrification will change the design of cars (just look at the i3). It's not only about the grille or the desire to look like a supercomputer on wheels - also the physics and dimensions of the battery play a role.

@Paulnternet @justinkan It's when you are hired into a new job, and when you start, you think: "I can't do this job, there was a mistake in the hiring process, they hired the wrong guy..."
