By “composting” you mean throwing old pizza boxes in the *green* bin, right?

I think you're supposed to fill your neighbor's composting with orange peels and wine bottles.

My DIL bought a Tesla last year and quickly learned about EV batteries and cold weather...IMHO. pushing EVs should have started AFTER the charging infrastructure was in place AND operating...lots of luck with your IONIQ5 this winter...

Apparently electric car batteries don't hold up well in summer due to blasting the A/C. So either die of heat exhaustion or die on the side of the road. I'm getting a scooter.
