Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

EVs are only really viable if you live in the city or the suburbs and have a consistent schedule. Out in rural communities or your schedule changes weekly? Not so much. Ford offering a free charging station installation with purchase of a new EV helps but only if you can afford a new one.
And I mean rural as in you travel a minimum of 30 minutes one way just to get groceries. Upwards of an hour to work.
Yeah I live like 45min from work and town and never have to charge outside of home unless I’m on a road trip.
I dont know anybody who lives in rural areas who needs more than 200 miles of range, and I know many who daily drive EVs. 1 hour to work would be fine driving an EV. Going to the next town over would be fine driving an EV. A long road trip to the city would require fast charging, but there's plenty of those.
