No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

How do less banked people charge an electric car?

Context: I don't own an electric car yet. I don't have a credit card due to identity theft.

If you have a garage, at home. You might want you drop more details to get better answers. E.g. location.

I will be that guy and not answer your original question. If you don’t have a way to charge at home, don’t get an electric car.

Besides the convenience factor, it’s far too expensive to use public chargers. It will not be worth it at all.

Where I live gas powered vehicles will be forbidden from being sold. It's getting harder to get a gas car.

You can't afford a credit card or some kind of parking space with electricity, but you can afford a brand new car?

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Thank you for asking so that I didn't have to.

[–] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I can afford a credit card. The credit check would be the issue. I use cash or check for everything.

As far as a car goes, yes. In theory I could. But my current vehicle works fine. It's a bit older,so I want to know my future options

[–] CmdrShepard49@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It's just that you're going to get screwed in the future if you need to finance a car or house with bad or no credit.

[–] POTOOOOOOOO@reddthat.com 2 points 2 days ago

I appreciate your concern, but it's not like I could get a loan in my situation anyway.

[–] exchange12rocks@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

Then get a regular debit card, like most people.

If you have no driveway, where are you currently parking? Level 1 or 2 chargers just connect to an exterior outlet on the house, so you could just plug it in via cable, so you don't have to have it in a garage. You may risk having someone steal your electrical cables, though, if you don't have some way of locking the cable to your house.

Street Parking in a bad area of town. The cord would get stolen for metal.
