And both it and the Perseus have such great layouts, very easy to hop in, climb ladder, deposit loot, get back out. And a MED BED! Thank the maker!

Total, Explorers vibe!

It's also a great perch when just landing and checking out the horizon, I hope it's an indication of what's to come, such a complete goofy character filled ship.

It shouldn't be that way, kinda wild to me AZ hasn't adopted a similar 25-35 mile goal at least on 8 let alone all these lesser traveled roads, that's inexcusable at this point.

Indeed. CA's goal is something like 25-35 miles between DCFC on all major highways and then using NEVI and other stuff to backfill that to less traveled stuff which is great. Most folks I know who drive from SD to Scottsdale mention it's pretty sketch around Gila Bend if you don't plan it right...

We're a Chevy/Ford family and we need a new vehicle for our kid and they'd prefer a sedan.

Sorry paddnahhhh best we can do is a Truck or SUV. Better scurry over to Kia for that <$25k well equipped wireless CarPlay standard K4 goodness.

Woahhhh

I just touched down on the far side of bloom at a derelict outpost I landed at lights on. If you haven't yet, land on the dark side of a planet and turn the lights off, it does this momentary thing reminiscent of an old incandescent flashlight, real small/fun details.

Enjoy :D

NV is BLEAK.

EV+ for sure, miss driving those, need to visit and say hi.

FCX had revised facia.

So odd driving EV+ and experiencing FCX and thinking everything was a year away from reality back in the early 2000's

I was digging into the NEVI funding site and it did say state requirements vary from state to state, and like you're saying, if CA's a well oiled machine and everyone brings site-ready utility approved stuff, maybe all this additional cost is very inefficient states that hoped Tesla would handle it

I'm bringing your state up because I, as a Californian, don't have insight as to why a neighboring state is so far behind and figured since we talk about this often, you could easily point to a few things.

Cities like San Diego adding 200% more are really going to push CA into > Germany territory.

Los Angeles airport carpark will have 1,300 EV chargers by end 2023 Mammoth project to install more than 1,300 EV chargers at Los Angeles International Airport nears completion.

Yup, hard to accurately grasp without tossing in the Plugshare stuff too, it's incredible how much charging there is in the footprint of a single airport.

LAX 1,300+, Amp 40, gets into nitty gritty but 1,500 is a good number. Either way, states should have CA ratio or higher, if AZ kept up > 8k...

Exactly my gut reaction.

Why are these prices so high in states with considerably less environmental regs, cheaper power, blah blah?

What's every other legacy carmaker doing at this point? Sitting on their hands and going 'doo doo doo'?

Thanks for your feedback Cory, looks like I was confusing stations with ports, AZ, does, indeed, have more level 2 chargers than LAX (though, not massively more).

Buddy has an IONIQ 5, can't charge at home. Charges at the GYM, not that much more than I pay. Life's great with many chargers of many speeds and costs!

Yeah, San Diego has like 2,700 chargers and is adding 4,000 more at the city level and hundreds more DCFC, so it'll be about double the chargers in AZ by the end of this decade, in San Diego alone.

I'm pretty sure anyone applying for NEVI funding was required to provide build-ready proposals but you may be on to something with the make-ready side of things.

I don't get the sense people generally understand how far behind they are, so being able to say, hey, that airport garage has more chargers than XX state, kinda puts things into perspective. Or, that city has more chargers than XX state, and that City is building 200% more, right now. Etc.

Yeah that comment wasn't NEVI specific but, holy crap, a state of 7M people has less chargers than an airport or city of <2M, as an example of my frustration and curiosity of why every state not California objectively sucks at this and doesn't have a sense of urgency.

Could 'single-stair reform' come to San Diego? It may be the key to an apartment building boom In one California city, apartments up to six stories can now be built with a single stairwell, a surprisingly buzzy cause. But there are concerns.

Love it. Love all these SoCal cities leading the way and setting the example for the state! Let's goooooo! YIMBY+

Kids these days will never know how great cut scenes were a quarter century ago in games.

Tim Curry?
Peter Stromare?

SPAAACCCEEE?!

Using your Arizona example. LAX has more Level 2 chargers than the state of Arizona. San Diego has more chargers than Arizona. Is it utility approval? Why is it taking so long and why is it so expensive in states with cheaper cost of living and electricity?

That being said, whenever these articles pop up I am seeing WAY fewer chargers than we see in CA getting installed with the same $$ and that's a concern is my point. Why? What are the inefficiencies? etc.

It's one of the major fumbles of Inside EVs, when they were doing a FUD article on NEVI funding and proudly telling everyone California hadn't installed ANY NEVi chargers.

Yeah, because they're using to backfill areas not covered by current build out, CA very different then rest of country...

Looking at applications for 18,451 ports in the state of California the last 5 years we're at an average of $55k per port through the states program which currently covers half the cost up to $100k.

$100k seems to be the genera number per port. Unless I'm missing something.

Sure, I'm just curious, and suspect, much of the GOP maligned delay in NEVI stuff being built is the states sucking at it, having relied on Tesla, Walmart, etc, vs leading the way like CA.

CA's providing $55k per port 150-275 kw, $100k 275+ kw, so when I see GA spending ~$250k I'm like... huh?

San Diego's installing 4,000 chargers
Southend-on-Sea is installing 3,000 chargers

Folks, this is it, this is where we are, today, Nov 24, 2025. Your local municipality needs to be installing *thousands* of charges this decade - unless you live in China or Norway - to simply try to keep up.
