This article neglects the state of charging and grid infrastructure. We can’t immediately convert all cars to EV, we don’t have the grid capacity or enough charging stations, yet. Each level 3 (fast charging station) is a custom layout and they take time to design and implement.

Unfortunately I don’t have a single host solution (beyond a reverse proxied ftp). But I use plex to host music, audiobooks, movies and TV and Calibre, Calibre-web for text based materials.
I am also not a programmer, but I have been thinking about the above idea as key to simplifying the adoption of lemmy to the broader public. I think that this idea is good, but the fact that the host instance must locally store all the data of another instance it’s federated with seems resources intensive (but I bet storage is cheaper than processing calls). Wouldn’t it make more sense to have a shared API-like protocol to allow instances and users to migrate freely using a SSO?
Jitsi has done a lot to improve functionality since lock down. Still pretty basic, but it’s free and can do moderation.
