  • It is a real problem if everyone switched at once, which isn’t realistic. Even with a gradual approach, at some point residential areas will require upgraded supply lines if every house has 1 or 2 240v chargers. The upgrade cost will probably start becoming an issue in roughly a decade, unless something drastic changes with power supply.




  • The bonkers part is the power people put in the score. The system largely takes care of itself, pay on time and score goes to good. Don’t pay on time, score goes down. Have bankruptcies or foreclosures recently, score goes way down. If you have a reasonable income the score can go to great, if you have a mortgage or massive income you can get excellent.


  • That would help, but the bigger problem is that the trust model has inverted in a fairly short time. I’m in my 30s and I can remember a time where 80% of calls to a home phone were legitimate non sales calls, and cell phones were basically 100% legitimate. Those numbers have become about 90% illegitimate calls within about a decade, it’s hard to train people that have lived for half their life or more with trustworthy calls to adapt to that.
