What's the motivation behind making it a progressive scale per mile? Is there a reason the Nth mile should be taxed more than the 1st when the environmental impact of the Nth mile and the 1st are the same?

It seems like there's an awful lot of useful improvement in the space between "doing nothing" and "redistributing wealth", so I commend the DISD for not letting perfect be the enemy of good.

I'd assume that the ultimate goal that motivates most of them is to make money to improve other parts of their lives. That often boils down to reaping the gains and externalizing the costs, which these hosting solutions seem to do fair

Good points about the limitations - SSE certainly won't be useful for lots of scenarios and you might prefer resorting to traditional approaches in those scenarios (in lieu of or in concert with an SSE channel).

Server-sent events might be a good fit here. Note that SSE belongs to the content layer (HTML) rather than the transfer layer (HTTP) so its specifically about notifications to active clients about content changes to resources they're o

You can mitigate the impact of charging time by charging during meals and breaks (which is why the preponderance of superchargers are located next to restaurants). If your route allows, you can also take advantage of what Tesla calls "
