Auto Makers Announce Electric Car Charging Standard
Overly Critical Guy writes "Auto makers are launching a universal EV charger that charges an electric vehicle in 15 to 20 minutes.

Unless your piss can speak binary using the right protocol and sending the right responses up the line, there will be no power to harm you.
Luxury. When I was a lad, we had to flatten our own dried feces and perforate it into punched cards to mail to the local petroleum distillery, and two to three weeks later a salesman would come out to beat us with a rubber hose -- if we were lucky.
I don't care if it's 90,000 hectares. That lake was not my doing.
