  • I have a Nissan leaf and installed a level 2 outlet at my house to avoid this.

    It charges overnight so I wake up and drive to work with a full battery.

    Since I usually use it to commute it’s perfect. I have had to use chadmo stations (level 3 and slower than Tesla stations) when on longer trips. That takes about 45 minutes to fully charge? Usually I just top up so I can get home if my range is a bit short.

    Some of the newer EVs can use super fast charging stations and fully charge in under 20 mins but those stations are rare. I think to get widespread adoption we would need cars that can hyper charge (or whatever it’s called) and those chargers to be all over.

    I was driving a Volvo xc70 with the flip up rear facing third row seats.

    That thing was choice.

    I could fit so much stuff and friends/family in it and the gas mileage was heaps better than an suv (not amazing but better).
    I wish there were more out there being made.

    Now I’m driving a Nissan leaf and when I got it titled it was listed as a station wagon which I thought was funny.



  • Our patient visits are set as 15 minute slots standard.

    This isn’t enough time to practice good medicine for anything much more than something like a flu or strep throat. How does one squeeze in an entire rooming process followed by a solid HPI, physical, poc testing and then plan review with pt in 15 minutes?

    They don’t.

    But with how medicine works (in the US) it’s the how clinics make enough money to stay open.

    For clarity: I work at a Federally Qualified Health Center, not a for profit clinic.
