Why are new cars so expensive and getting spendier all the time? Because of who buys new cars. Hint: it's NOT the middle of the middle class... youtu.be/cwcgc8dfqms

It's funny, the Explorer isn't the "best" at anything specific, and that's likely what makes it a best seller and so easy to recommend. Circle on a spider chart anyone?

Yep, it’s made in China. But I did the math and in reality spending 36,000 on a Chinese made car every 7 years is about the same value of Chinese goods as the average American family spends every 7 years…

The solution to unattended cable cutting is 1000% "bring your own cable." J3400 includes that provision, but for now a naughty solution might be the shortest cable you've ever seen + a J1772 extension. Why naughty? Because you can unplug while under load and risk an arc.
