I think Hybrid tags are useful
Just tagging them with an electrical hazard sign might lead fireys to assume it is an EV and overlook the fuel hazard

I was surprised when I registered the Vectrix that there was no requirement to identify it as electric drive. This is just a standard industrial sticker chopped down to fit

Recommended Home Charging Infrastructure
I'd suggest that you at least have a 15A single phase outlet that is accessible where you will normally park the vehicle.
Not too expensive and has the benefit of being on it's own beaker so you won't drop the power to the rest of the house if it happens to trip

I wired a toggle switch across the microswitch so that I can switch out regen when I don’t want it; eg, when my batteries are fully charged, or when driving in stop/start traffic.

Electric Charge Stations on Interstate 5
well, fast charging is... fast.
it's all so close.
It would be cool to see the melbourne to sydney run with fast chargers every 100km.
I wonder if that would be enough to give buyers the confidence to choose electric?

300km trips are rarely done without prior planning.
Maybe, if packs are standardised and swappable, you might be able to buy a car with a 150km range pack and hire long range ones for the odd times that you do road trips
