The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I haven't bought an EV yet myself because I'm not buying a new car until my current one kicks the bucket, but don't they have that "quick charge" feature similar to phones where if the battery is low it can get to "good enough to get you to work and back" in like 5 minutes?
I just can't wait to not have to worry about oil changes or "odd engine sounds" anymore lol
But you will have to worry about your battery. It will depend on usage, "fast" charging etc... but it will not last as a "normal" car does. So you will have to replace it or dump the car. ( most people just dump it as its cheaper to buy new )
Depends on the charger. Technology Connections has a good video about it. The 15 minute figure is for a best case scenario going from 20 to 75%, if I'm not mistaken. More likely you'll wait something closer to 40-90 minutes, depending on many cars are charging at the same time, etc etc.
That would rely on having the right charger, and I suspect they will be rare, because that's a massive amount of power to deliver, and getting that much power to the site would be difficult.
Instead of oil changes you'll have coolant changes. I have.
Taking a quick look it looks like these coolant changes are between 50k and 100k or every 5-10 years, that's still LOADS better than every 6-10k miles or every couple of months lol
Mine's every 30.000 km, or every two years. Which is the same as oil changes in my previous car.
