Rating: 3 Whats needed is that people plug the car in every
night after they've gone home and make it routine, regardless of
wether the battery is full or empty. If it's routine, it won't
be forgotten.  I've never forgotten my keys when i leave the
house, never. Because i always keep them in my hand when i leave
and close the door. If they're not in my hand, i don't leave.
Likewise i could say, if the EV isn't plugged in i won't leave
the garage. So that every time you want to leave the garage
you'll check if your car is plugged in.  Now you'll have to
forget 2 things, plugging it in and checking if you've plugged
it in, before something goes wrong, making the risk of it
happening smaller. If it costs a little effort, don't you think
something as important as your daily transportation deserves
that effort?  What can be automated, is the charger deciding
when to actually charge the EV. Co
