It is, definitely. We own our home and leave it on the level 1 charger all the time. It gets us around the metro just fine, no long commutes so it's great for us. And as someone mentioned somewhere around here, a longer charge time isn't necessarily bad if you're the only driver on long trips. I'm honestly more worried about having to stop in areas with only a couple chargers (Midwest here) and some asshole vandalizing them and leaving me stranded. But that's a concern that pops up once or twice a year at best. And the various charger apps are pretty good a letting you know they're down.
Someone once referred to motorcyclists (specifically the ones without helmets or leathers) as "meat crayons" in front of me and I can never get it out of my head.
As the owner of a Bolt, the only significant criticism is range (mine's a 2020, gets ~180mi comfortably on the interstate) and charging rate (2020 bolts are limited to 50 kW, so kinda specific). Not great for road trips, but otherwise fantastic. As for electric fires... yeah I wasn't gonna be able to put that out anyway so the firefolk have it either way.
Not to be contrary, but the last line of the summary in the wiki article is:
The hedonic treadmill viewpoint suggests that wealth does not increase the level of happiness
I would infer from that, that increased wealth has increasingly diminishing returns after a certain point.
I did try to follow the link, but Investopedia broke it on their end and I can’t seem to find it (aside: wooof, that is a bad layout). Any good sources for me?
You’re right, I was off on a weird thing. Was thinking about the skew between mean and median indicating this or that, but starting in median keeps us in population counting territory. I was just wrong. Derp.
