Proposed redirection of this community to a more active Electric Vehicles community (lemmy.ca)

Smaller communities have trouble growing when they are scattered and competing with one another. Focusing on one community can help a lot with growth (a few people posting to a few small communities vs. all of them posting to the same larger community).

User @[email protected] made a post here to discuss consolidating the Electric Vehicle communities: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805

Since this community hasn't had a post in a year and the mod hasn't been active, it was proposed that we lock the community and pin a post directing users to the chosen community (currently it looks to be [email protected] ). Then, if at any point people don't like how that community is being run, there is always the option of unlocking these other communities.

I'm in favour of locking and redirecting, but I wanted to get feedback first :)

How do you feel about GM and Ford moving the NACS charging standard, is it going to have a ripple effect?

Just found this community! What are you currently and/or looking to drive? (self.electriccars)

Hi folks,

Just found this community and curious about what everyone is either using as a daily driver or have got their eyes on in the EV space.

I'm from Vancouver, and a few years ago my partner and I bought a new Chevrolet Volt PHEV as a "bridge" car to get us through the next while as charging infrastructure scales out. We get about 100km of electric range in the warmer times and 70km in the winter. Perfect for our needs around Vancouver, while still giving us flexibility to drive out to Whistler or Banff for our vacation roadtrips.

So what are you driving?
