Today is Yom Kippur, which began at sundown last night. This is a day of atonement, so "happy" Yom Kippur is not appropriate: I think the proper sentiment is to wish all of you commemorating this ~~a good~~ an easy fast. While this is not my holiday, I'm sure I have some atoning to do, so I'll try to keep this in mind along the way.

What if it's raining? I get the feeling unless you're living or working in a high rise in San Diego and just happen to have an odd hour lunch break where you sit and watch your car recharge this isn't going to happen soon. Get 150 miles off of a 220V outlet in 30 minutes and you've got something real- even if it's a supercharge station you leave in your garage. After all this is just some kind of high efficiency capacitor. As soon as it's economical I want to get an EV though and then a vanity plate that reads COALPWRD.
