I think my experience is skewed by not having a dcfc capable car. I charge exclusively j1772. And use plugshare to find the chargers. In 5 years of ownership I’ve charged not at home probably 150 times. Of those times I would say I couldn’t get the charger to work maybe 20 times. And of those 20 probably half didn’t have any other option at the same location that I was able to get working.

Again this is skewed by filtering through plug share and not even attempting locations that have comments claiming they’re broken.

Frog has seen some things.

I’d bet the car originally had lug bolts in a m12x1.25… which is also a common spark plug thread size

You only have to do that the next 30-40 years of your life if you live the next 30-40 years… just saying.

It could be worse, you could have to work the next 60 years.

Ha, my employer values my thoughts about as much as I value a kick in the balls.

True, but have you considered the fact that they are “free” and beat the commies? /s

Semiconductor mfg firesales.

Or if you want to spend the 20+k you can buy from the manufacturer.

Oh power usage… that depends how much you need to cool down, and what setup you have. But usually they’re 3 phase and lots of amps…

That can be done, just takes a more expensive Platten motor, and some more code in the control unit.

You can get “freezers” that will put part of their inside down to 250+c below their surroundings. (Helium cryocoolers)

If you’re very careful you can remove heat with electromagnetic energy.

Think of heat like someone on a rope swing, and electromagnetic energy as a push.

If you time, and angle your pushes very carefully you can slow the person on the swing. But it’s much easier to speed them up. Same with electromagnetic energy.

It could easily be done, but would only work if: you don’t stop the cycle manually by opening the door, or you are ok with the microwave quickly spinning your food (or liquid filled cup) to the starting position as soon as you do open the door.
