A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts: 1

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report the message goes away and you never worry about it.

They should build ev charging stations with a drive in theater so you can watch a movie as you're charging up to continue your road trip (lemmy.world)

A lot of people just use super charger for this use case. 15 min and you get 200mi of range. There is no need to really hang around for over an hour. Its not much worse than a trip to a gas station.

15 min for 200mi

vs

5 min for 600mi

Totally equivalent right?

It's annoying when EV-angelists act like range is a non issue compared to ICE vehicles. I want to buy an EV, but none of them have the range or charging speed I'd require for my typical drives.

600 is a lot. Are you talking about a hybrid?

My ICE 2015 Cooper and 2019 Volvo S60 float around 300-350mi of range. Which, is right about what all the top EVs get with their extended range battery options.

But get what works for you. A smaller 200mi entry level battery would be more than enough for my needs. Even with a long trip, I actually want to stop and stretch my legs every 2-3 hours.
