   I dunno.

   The problem with the EV cables is that they're so light that they get horribly abused. This, at least, can deal with a lot more damage. I mean, it's about as thick as a fuel pump hose, so there's precedent.

     Yeah, totally understand. FWIW, I'm surprised there's not a better, more standardized way to charge (e.g. automated connections, or "skid connectors") to deal with this. Induction has it's own set of problems, but it would be better than cable wrangling.

     Making it easier for her would also make it easier for others, and might even reduce costs, but I have no real idea about a lot of this.

     Huge +1.

     Kinda surprised that the big chains like Love's haven't started building those out yet.
