Comment on How do you charge an electric car without a credit card?

  They were doing so to find out which country you lived in, since you neglected to provide that information yourself.

  I’m British, I charge my car at home, and on the few occasions I use public chargers, I interface with and pay for them through apps.

  Knowing that you are from the US, though, means that YMMV. Your home electric supplies have significantly lower voltage than here in Europe, so home charging might be a less viable option.

  They weren’t being creepy, they were trying to give you a helpful answer.

    240v wiring is common in Canada and the US, just not all outlets, and until recently not usually in garages. I expect 240v outlets in garages to be more standard in the future.

    But, creepy or no, posting on a public forum and not using throwaway accounts and then being surprised that people actually reference your posting history is hopelessly naive.

  You probably shouldn’t be on the internet if you’re that sensitive. The only creepy one here is you right now.

    Maybe dealing with an identity theft case as mentioned above would be why

    I’m also not sure why saying something is creepy makes me the creepy one.

      Calling others “creepy” for putting an effort to help you out, just for fun or sth needs to be de-incentivised. And that’s what the ones above are doing.

      Also, the chap who attempted identity theft is probably not going around telling you where they got your information (or that they got it, or that they exist).

  As someone living in your walls you snore quite loudly. You should get a CPAP machine you’ll feel much better in the morning.
