Only one EV charger at home?!

Nothing to do with leftist legislation. Its actually due to useless car manufacturers in Britain.

During my childhood and early adolescence, the concourse of Lime Street Station in Liverpool was a very handy walking route for me (a relative kept a pub, literally across an adjacent street).

The smell of locomotives getting up steam - a mixture of coal smoke and the steam itself - is something I can recall to this very day (and it had all stopped by the end of 1968).

Toyota is cheap s*it. My VW 1998 and Renault 2002 have MPG.

And there's a button on the end of the wiper stalk. Simply press to cycle between odometer, trip meter, average speed (used to evade average speed cameras, thanks Renault!), MPG, distance left before fuel runs out, etc.

Is visiting Idaho a bad thing?

Or strong enough to push.

I guess inflatable is good for carrying to somewhere where the water is not near the road. But they sound expensive.

You get what you pay for. You can get sit on top inflatables that are inexpensive, right down to ones that should be considered pool toys. The AE has an optional rigid keel. With an inflatable the more definition the hull has the more efficient it paddles.

No, if you plan to do so.

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Superior,+MT+59872/@47.0714738,-115.5479964,9z/ There's gas in Superior. I think there's gas in Clarkia but you might not want to go there. It's about 60 miles as the crow flies but the crows didn't lay out the roads in that part of the world.

I don't think there's been a Renault in the US since the Alliance in the '80s.

USA, like the EU, is a protectionist trading bloc. It taxes imports of European cars, so the cheaper ones are not worth importing.

"Why did Renault leave Canada?

At the end of the '80s, French manufacturer Renault stopped selling cars on our continent, victim of new environmental laws that made their cars noncompliant. Sales weren't exactly great to begin with, so that didn't help."

"Why is Renault not available in Canada?

Renault had poor results from previous attempts to enter the North American market either directly or through a partnership with AMC, which did produce the Renault designed and Canadian manufactured Eagle cars that were reasonably well received but that ended when Chrysler bought out AMC."

And

"Renault has to obtain an exemption from the government, though: its vehicles are not compliant with our safety norms. If they manage to sway our legislators, they would then be allowed to bring 1,000 of their cars here. If they wish to sell more, they would have to modify them to comply with our laws (if the demand is there, we hope that’s what happens)."

There seems to be a bit of a theme there. What could it be ?

It's the same as the EU. Protecting your market and manufacturers masked as 'all for the good of consumers'.

There aren't too many regulations on bicycles.

Maybe Renault could make bicycles ???

I had something I called Fenton [1] once. It looked like this and liked to blow away in the wind. It also didn't support my weight too well:

No, it's treehugging assholes. If I want to buy an inefficient fun car, I will.

This page says that shouldn't happen:

Looks like the still in use London Taxis.
