The remains of a MagneCharge (left) and AVCON (right) charging station

Close up of the (broken) MagneCharge charger, notice that it is missing the charging cable and inductive paddle.

Close up of the fuses and cable on the (non functioning) AVCON charger.

A GM EV1 charging at a MagneCharge charger around 1998.

Visited the remains of a MagneCharge (J1773) and an AVCON charger in Phoenix, Arizona over the weekend, a relic of yesterday’s electric cars. Sort of sad to see history slowly baking underneath the Arizona sun. The last image is the location circa 1998 (from the EV1 club website).

Interior of Valley Metro’s C40LFR

Both Valley Metro New Flyer C40LFRs I rode have such a terrible screeching noise from what appears to be the drivetrain when the bus first starts off…

Went to Goodwill for the first time today, bought a monitor with a non functioning screen. I should have tested it first, had to go back and return it.

Ate a banana while waiting for Valley Metro light rail today as I had just missed the previous one 😭

If everyone leaves, then there is nobody to fight, and if there is nobody to fight, there is no change. It is not just about us today, but also about the people tomorrow.
