If everyone could plug in at home it wouldn't need that many.

To be on the road and then plug in is inconvenient no matter how many stations there are, plugging in over night or during lunch, thats the way

tbh charging at fast stations doesn't actually take much longer than petrol realistically. It would be annoying if it was the only chance to charge but like my car gets ~300 km in like 20 minutes or so? It's not a very efficient one being small SUV sized (large dogs :( ).

If even if you commute a fair bit every day that's still a once a week or so thing that's idk ~10 minutes longer than a fill up and pay?

The apps are the pita. Need to regulate them out of existence in favour of standard payment terminals.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
