Yeah sounds like old stryper. Knot my favorite music but it is decent. Memories of listening to the House of Hair on Saturday nights.

You've got to give more power to the peep hole!

Electric Truck Stops Will Need as Much Power as a Small Town

"...according to a sweeping new study of highway charging requirements conducted by utility company National Grid Plc. Researchers found that by 2030, electrifying a typical highway gas station will require as much power as a professional sports stadium—and that’s mostly just for electrified passenger vehicles."

Are Lamppost EV Chargers Ideal for City Dwellers? - Autoweek

These might not charge as quickly if the "Lamppost" is only "Plumbed" for 120 V.....and who knows how much spare amperage.

Paul Simon Sings: Who do you Think you're Fuelin'?

HONDA ALL-IN ON FUEL CELLS - Autoline Daily
Will hydrogen cars and trucks ever catch on? Honda certainly thinks so. It says it can double the durability and chop the costs of fuel cells by one-third, compared to one in the 2019 Honda Clarity. Once it achieves that, Honda wants to double the durability again and chop the cost in half. Then it will start selling fuel cell powered pass cars and trucks, stationary power stations and construction machinery. In 2024, it will launch a hydrogen powered version of the CR-V in North America and Japan. It will test a heavy-duty truck prototype with Isuzu in Japan sometime in the next year. And in China, Honda partnered with Dongfeng to test commercial fuel cell trucks. Even so, Honda plans to go slow. By the middle of the decade it thinks it can sell 2,000 fuel cell modules, and bump that up to 60,000 in 2030. Then it plans to sell a few hundred thousand units per year by the second half of the 2030s.

I'll pop my own eye, thank you.

MERCEDES E-CLASS GETS EYE-POPPING FEATURES - Autoline Daily
Mercedes showed off its all new electronic architecture and operating system last week, what it calls MB.OS. But that won’t be out until 2025. Even so, parts of the system will debut this year on the new E-Class sedan. One thing that customers will notice is how it enables a new level of in-car entertainment, and can even turn your Benz into a mobile office. You can take Webex and Zoom calls when the car is parked, using a video camera on the top of the instrument panel and the center screen. Or, to take your mind off work you can play games like Angry Birds, or search for something else to play. You can stream YouTube videos on the screen as well… or even call up TikTok videos. When the car is not parked, all the action can switch to the front seat passenger with a screen that uses what Mercedes calls a Visual Shield, though others refer to this as shy technology. From the driver’s seat, you cannot see what’s on the screen even though the passenger can. That should minimize driver distraction. The system will do Google searches for all kinds of destinations, and set the nav to take you there. And if you don’t want to watch anything at all you can bring up Apple music through Dolby Atmos… and even set the ambient lighting in the cabin to pulse to the beat of the music.

It crawled in my ear from the car radio about a week ago and now I hear it free inside my head 24/7.

That and provided nobody steals the charging cord while it is unattended.

On the subject of Busing:

I remember some of the busses in my school system were Amish, but the newer ones had slushbox transmissions.
