I have neighbors just run extension cords from their front door or window across the sidewalk and plug into their car on the street.

- lagniappe 3y ago> across the sidewalk I reward the hacker spirit, however this is an accessibility concern for older people and wheelfolk.
- blacksmith_tb 3y agoI have seen some better hacks, like using (maybe even planting?) a small tree and running the charging cable over its branches and down to the curb - that way it isn't a trip hazard. Of course it'd be more practical to bury a small pipe under the sidewalk, I guess horizontal boring is pretty much a solved problem, so retrofitting one might not be too hard.
- badpun 3y agoThat works until electric cars get popular and people start stealing their electricity (plug their car charger to the 220 extension cord with "free" electricity on tap).
