Hey Dave, I’m so sorry to hear about Joy, i’m hoping that you guys find some really helpful and healing solutions this year, I know that our medical system is pretty terrible in the way it treats those with long COVID but I’ve heard anecdotally from some folks who have found some respite with certain treatments. In regards to your Chevy Bolt EV, I’m super excited for you! I’ve been leasing a 2022 Hyundai Kona EV for a little over two years, and for the most part I really love it. When I first started leasing it we had this charger installed in our garage: ChargePoint Home Flex Level 2 WiFi Enabled 240 Volt NEMA 6-50 Plug Electric Vehicle EV Charger for Plug in or Hardwired Indoor Outdoor Setup w/Cable We moved to a condo in LA county since then and our building doesn’t allow us currently or have a way to have hookups, so I’ve been struggling with having to charge my car at public chargers, way more frequently then I’d like to be, because of a long commute (I’m charging it almost every other day at a public charger). But despite the inconvenience I’m still grateful to have an electric vehicle.
