Shouldn't automotive refuel and recharge stations all be governed by Weights and Measures departments across the nation?
Why are these giant glorified USB chargers not subject to the same regulatory pressures yet?
- kotaKat 3y agoHonestly... that's not a bad idea. There are all sorts of EVSE testing apparatus on the market, surely we can have W&M ensure that electricity dispensing equipment are providing properly metered power at precise prices.
- andrewmcwatters 3y agoI'm sure it'll happen eventually. Regulation lags I suppose, and mainstream uptake is still small for now.
- ajmurmann 3y agoIt's like we forgot in the last ~30 years how to do useful regulation. I am inclined to blame this on the Republicans trying to starve the government to death instead of having lean, but well-executed regulations and the Democrats seeming mostly focused on environmental stuff.
